Select the correct answer. If x and y are positive real numbers, which expression is equivalent to the expression below? (125x^4y3/2)1/3÷(xy)1/2

5x^(5/6)

Step-by-step explanation:

we will use properties of exponents

x^a/x^b = x^(a-b)

and

x^a * x^b = x^(a+b)

(125x^4y3/2)1/3÷(xy)1/2\\

expanding each term by taking power for each component of expression

=>125^(1/3) x^(4/3) y(3/2*1/3) ÷ x(1/2)y(1/2)

=>5*x^(4/3) y(1/2) ÷ x(1/2)y(1/2)

using property =   x^a/x^b = x^(a-b)

=>5x^(4/3 - 1/2) y^(1/2 -1/2)

y^(0) = 1

=> 5x^((4*2-3)/3*2) *1

=> 5x^(5/6)

Thus, value of expression is 5x^(5/6)

all it means is function 3
