1. The first expression is $(x^{-2} x^{-3})^4$. Using the rule $(a^m a^n)^p = a^{(m+n)p}$, we get:
$$ (x^{-2} x^{-3})^4 = (x^{-5})^4 = x^{-20} $$
This matches your answer $x^{-20}$.
2. For $(x^4)^{-3} \cdot 2x^4$, apply the power rule $(a^m)^n = a^{mn}$:
$$ (x^4)^{-3} = x^{4 \times (-3)} = x^{-12} $$
Then multiply:
$$ x^{-12} \cdot 2x^4 = 2x^{-12+4} = 2x^{-8} $$
This matches your answer $2x^{-8}$.
3. For $(n^3)^3 \cdot 2n^{-1}$:
$$ (n^3)^3 = n^{3 \times 3} = n^9 $$
Multiply:
$$ n^9 \cdot 2n^{-1} = 2n^{9-1} = 2n^8 $$
This matches your answer $2n^8$.
4. For $(2v)^2 \cdot 2v^2$:
$$ (2v)^2 = 2^2 v^2 = 4v^2 $$
Multiply:
$$ 4v^2 \cdot 2v^2 = 8v^{2+2} = 8v^4 $$
This matches your answer $8v^4$.
5. For $\frac{2x^2 y^4 \cdot 4x^2 y^4 \cdot 3x}{3x^3 y^2}$:
Multiply numerator:
$$ 2 \cdot 4 \cdot 3 = 24 $$
Add exponents for $x$:
$$ 2 + 2 + 1 = 5 $$
Add exponents for $y$:
$$ 4 + 4 = 8 $$
So numerator is:
$$ 24x^5 y^8 $$
Divide by denominator:
$$ \frac{24x^5 y^8}{3x^3 y^2} = 8x^{5-3} y^{8-2} = 8x^2 y^6 $$
Your final answer $8x^8 y^6$ is incorrect; the correct is $8x^2 y^6$.
6. For $\frac{2y^3 \cdot 3xy^3}{3x^2 y^4}$:
Multiply numerator:
$$ 2 \cdot 3 = 6 $$
Add exponents for $y$:
$$ 3 + 3 = 6 $$
So numerator is:
$$ 6x^1 y^6 $$
Divide by denominator:
$$ \frac{6x y^6}{3x^2 y^4} = 2x^{1-2} y^{6-4} = 2x^{-1} y^2 $$
Your answer $2 x^1 y^2$ is incorrect; the correct is $2x^{-1} y^2$.
7. For $\frac{x^3 y^3 \cdot x^3}{4x^2 y^2}$:
Multiply numerator:
$$ x^{3+3} y^3 = x^6 y^3 $$
Divide by denominator:
$$ \frac{x^6 y^3}{4x^2 y^2} = \frac{1}{4} x^{6-2} y^{3-2} = \frac{1}{4} x^4 y^1 $$
You wrote only $x^4$, missing $y^1$ and the denominator factor $\frac{1}{4}$.
8. For $\frac{3x^2 y^2}{2x^{-1} \cdot 4yx^2}$:
Multiply denominator:
$$ 2 \cdot 4 = 8 $$
Add exponents for $x$ in denominator:
$$ -1 + 2 = 1 $$
So denominator is:
$$ 8x^1 y^1 $$
Divide:
$$ \frac{3x^2 y^2}{8x y} = \frac{3}{8} x^{2-1} y^{2-1} = \frac{3}{8} x y $$
Your answer $3x^4 y / 8$ is incorrect; the correct is $\frac{3}{8} x y$.
9. For $\frac{x^4 y^3}{4x}$:
Divide:
$$ \frac{x^4 y^3}{4x} = \frac{1}{4} x^{4-1} y^3 = \frac{1}{4} x^3 y^3 $$
10. For $(2x^0)^2$:
Recall $x^0 = 1$:
$$ 2x^0 = 2 \times 1 = 2 $$
Square:
$$ (2)^2 = 4 $$
Your answer $x/4$ is incorrect; the correct is $4$.
11. For $\frac{2m^{-4}}{(2m^{-4})^3}$:
Calculate denominator:
$$ (2m^{-4})^3 = 2^3 m^{-12} = 8 m^{-12} $$
Divide:
$$ \frac{2m^{-4}}{8 m^{-12}} = \frac{2}{8} m^{-4 - (-12)} = \frac{1}{4} m^{8} $$
Your final answer $m^8 / 4$ is correct.
Summary: Most answers are correct except problems 5, 6, 7, 8, and 10 where errors were found.
