1. **State the problem:** Find the excluded values of the expression $$\frac{6x^2y^3}{2x^2y^2} \times \frac{10x^3y^4}{18y^2}$$.
2. **Identify excluded values:** Excluded values occur where any denominator is zero because division by zero is undefined.
3. **Analyze denominators:** The denominators are $2x^2y^2$ and $18y^2$.
4. **Set denominators not equal to zero:**
$$2x^2y^2 \neq 0 \implies x^2 \neq 0 \text{ and } y^2 \neq 0 \implies x \neq 0, y \neq 0$$
$$18y^2 \neq 0 \implies y^2 \neq 0 \implies y \neq 0$$
5. **Combine conditions:** The excluded values are where $x=0$ or $y=0$.
6. **Simplify the expression:**
$$\frac{6x^2y^3}{2x^2y^2} \times \frac{10x^3y^4}{18y^2} = \left(\frac{6}{2} \times \frac{x^2}{x^2} \times \frac{y^3}{y^2}\right) \times \left(\frac{10}{18} \times x^3 \times \frac{y^4}{y^2}\right)$$
7. **Cancel common factors:**
$$\frac{6}{2} = 3, \quad \frac{x^2}{x^2} = \cancel{1}, \quad \frac{y^3}{y^2} = y$$
$$\frac{10}{18} = \frac{5}{9}, \quad y^{4-2} = y^2$$
8. **Rewrite:**
$$3 \times y \times \frac{5}{9} \times x^3 \times y^2 = \frac{15}{9} x^3 y^{3}$$
9. **Simplify fraction:**
$$\frac{15}{9} = \frac{\cancel{15}}{\cancel{9}} = \frac{5}{3}$$
10. **Final simplified expression:**
$$\frac{5}{3} x^3 y^3$$
**Answer:** The excluded values are $x=0$ and $y=0$.
The simplified expression is $$\frac{5}{3} x^3 y^3$$.
