The simplest form of the algebraic expression isx^-4y^-8/x^12y^-12 (Option B)
What is simplification?
The term simplification is mathematics refers to the depiction of the expression in its lowest possible format. In the simplest form, the expression can not be simplified further.
Now we have the original expression as;
(xy^2/x^-3y^3)
The only possible step in the expansion is to open up the bracket by the laws of indices and we get;
