1. Problem Description

Simplify the expression (x32x2y3yx0)4(\frac{x^3 \cdot 2x^2 y^{-3}}{yx^0})^4.

2. Solution Steps

First, simplify the expression inside the parentheses.
We have x0=1x^0 = 1.
So the expression becomes (x32x2y3y)4(\frac{x^3 \cdot 2x^2 y^{-3}}{y})^4.
Multiplying the terms in the numerator yields:
x32x2y3=2x3+2y3=2x5y3x^3 \cdot 2x^2 y^{-3} = 2x^{3+2} y^{-3} = 2x^5 y^{-3}.
Now, the expression inside the parentheses is:
2x5y3y\frac{2x^5 y^{-3}}{y}.
Recall that yayb=yab\frac{y^a}{y^b} = y^{a-b}. Thus y3y1=y31=y4\frac{y^{-3}}{y^1} = y^{-3-1} = y^{-4}.
Therefore, 2x5y3y=2x5y4\frac{2x^5 y^{-3}}{y} = 2x^5 y^{-4}.
Now we can raise this to the power of

4. $(2x^5 y^{-4})^4$.

Recall that (ab)n=anbn(ab)^n = a^n b^n. Also (xa)b=xab(x^a)^b = x^{a \cdot b}.
Thus, (2x5y4)4=24(x5)4(y4)4=16x54y44=16x20y16(2x^5 y^{-4})^4 = 2^4 (x^5)^4 (y^{-4})^4 = 16 x^{5 \cdot 4} y^{-4 \cdot 4} = 16 x^{20} y^{-16}.
Also, we can write y16=1y16y^{-16} = \frac{1}{y^{16}}.
Therefore, 16x20y16=16x20y1616x^{20} y^{-16} = \frac{16x^{20}}{y^{16}}.

3. Final Answer

16x20y16\frac{16x^{20}}{y^{16}}
