Explanation:

Response

Let's take problem 1: \(2xy^{2}\cdot3y\) to solve.

Step 1: Multiply the coefficients

Multiply the numerical coefficients \(2\) and \(3\).
\(2\times3 = 6\)

Step 2: Multiply the variables with the same base (using exponent rule \(a^m \cdot a^n=a^{m + n}\))

For the \(y\)-terms: \(y^{2}\cdot y=y^{2 + 1}=y^{3}\), and the \(x\) term remains as it is.

Step 3: Combine the results

Combine the coefficient and the variables.
\(6\times x\times y^{3}=6xy^{3}\)

Step 1: Divide the coefficients

Divide the numerical coefficients \(2\) and \(3\). The result is \(\frac{2}{3}\)

Step 2: Divide the variables with the same base (using exponent rule \(\frac{a^m}{a^n}=a^{m - n}\))

For the \(a\)-terms: \(\frac{a^{3}}{a}=a^{3- 1}=a^{2}\)
For the \(b\)-terms: \(\frac{b^{2}}{b^{4}}=b^{2-4}=b^{-2}=\frac{1}{b^{2}}\) (but we want positive exponents, so we will handle this in the next step)

Step 3: Combine the results and ensure positive exponents

Combine the coefficient and the variables. Since \(b^{-2}=\frac{1}{b^{2}}\), we have \(\frac{2}{3}\times a^{2}\times\frac{1}{b^{2}}=\frac{2a^{2}}{3b^{2}}\)

Step 1: Factor the number inside the square root into perfect squares and other factors

We know that \(384 = 64\times6\) (since \(64\) is a perfect square, \(8\times8 = 64\))

Step 2: Use the square - root property \(\sqrt{ab}=\sqrt{a}\cdot\sqrt{b}\) (\(a\geq0,b\geq0\))

\(\sqrt{384}=\sqrt{64\times6}=\sqrt{64}\times\sqrt{6}\)

Step 3: Simplify the square root of the perfect square

Since \(\sqrt{64} = 8\), we have \(8\times\sqrt{6}=8\sqrt{6}\)

Answer:

\(6xy^{3}\)

Let's take problem 8: \(\frac{2a^{3}b^{2}}{3ab^{4}}\) to solve.
