Could you help me find whqt equivalent to 16x^2/y

(2xy)⁴/x²y⁵

(4x)²/y

(4x)²y¯¹

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, we obtained:

16x²/y

Thus, we can obtain the equivalent of the above expression as follow:

For Option 1:

(2x)⁴/x²y¯¹ = 2⁴x⁴/x²y¯¹

(2x)⁴/x²y¯¹ = 16x⁴/x²y¯¹

Recall:

1/A¯¹ = A

Therefore,

16x⁴/x²y¯¹ = 16x⁴y/x²

Recall:

Aᵐ ÷ Aⁿ = Aᵐ ¯ ⁿ

Therefore,

16x⁴y/x² = 16x⁴¯²y = 16x²y

(2x)⁴/x²y¯¹ = 16x²y

Thus, (2x)⁴/x²y¯¹ is not equivalent to 16x²/y

For Option 2:

(2xy)⁴/x²y⁵ = 2⁴x⁴y⁴/x²y⁵

(2xy)⁴/x²y⁵ = 16x⁴y⁴/x²y⁵

Recall:

Aᵐ ÷ Aⁿ = Aᵐ ¯ ⁿ

16x⁴¯² y⁴¯⁵ = 16x²y¯¹

Recall:

A¯¹ = 1/A

16x²y¯¹ = 16x²/y

(2xy)⁴/x²y⁵ = 16x²/y

Thus, (2xy)⁴/x²y⁵ is equivalent to 16x²/y

For Option 3:

(4x)²/y = 4²x²/y

(4x)²/y = 16x²/y

Thus, (4x)²/y is equivalent to 16x²/y

For Option 4:

(4x)²y¯¹ = 4²x²y¯¹

(4x)²y¯¹ = 16x²y¯¹

Recall:

A¯¹ = 1/A

16x²y¯¹ = 16x²/y

(4x)²y¯¹ = 16x²/y

Thus, (4x)²y¯¹ is equivalent to 16x²/y

For Option 5:

(4x/y)²

Recall:

(A/B)ⁿ = Aⁿ / Bⁿ

(4x/y)² = (4x)²/y²

(4x/y)² = 4²x²/y²

(4x/y)² = 16x²/y²

Thus, (4x/y)² is not equivalent to 16x²/y

SUMMARY:

(2x)⁴/x²y¯¹ is not equivalent to 16x²/y

(2xy)⁴/x²y⁵ is equivalent to 16x²/y

(4x)²/y is equivalent to 16x²/y

(4x)²y¯¹ is equivalent to 16x²/y

(4x/y)² is not equivalent to 16x²/y
