1. Problem Description

The problem asks to simplify the expression (5xy2z2)2(\frac{5xy^{-2}}{z^2})^2 and express the answer with positive exponents.

2. Solution Steps

First, apply the power of a quotient rule, which states that (ab)n=anbn(\frac{a}{b})^n = \frac{a^n}{b^n}.
(5xy2z2)2=(5xy2)2(z2)2(\frac{5xy^{-2}}{z^2})^2 = \frac{(5xy^{-2})^2}{(z^2)^2}
Next, apply the power of a product rule, which states that (ab)n=anbn(ab)^n = a^n b^n.
(5xy2)2(z2)2=52x2(y2)2(z2)2\frac{(5xy^{-2})^2}{(z^2)^2} = \frac{5^2 x^2 (y^{-2})^2}{(z^2)^2}
Simplify the exponents. Also 52=255^2 = 25.
25x2y4z4\frac{25x^2 y^{-4}}{z^4}
To express the answer with positive exponents, we rewrite y4y^{-4} as 1y4\frac{1}{y^4}.
25x2y4z4\frac{25x^2}{y^4 z^4}

3. Final Answer

25x2y4z4\frac{25x^2}{y^4z^4}
