Given the expression:

42(uv^2)^3/(7u)^3v^4

Simplify.

Solution:

In order to simplify the expression, we distribute the degree to its corresponding parenthesis by applying the rules of the exponents. It is stated that whenever a number with a degree is raised to another degree enclosed by a parenthesis, simply multiply the two degrees together.

= 42(uv^2)^3/(7u)^3v^4

= 42 u^3 v^(2)(3) / 343u^3v^4

= 42 u^3 v^6 / 343u^3v^4

Final answer:

= 42 u^3 v^6 / 343u^3v^4
