1. **State the problem:** Verify if the expression
$$\frac{2x^{2}y^{4} \cdot 4x^{2}y^{4} \cdot 3x}{3x^{-3} y^{2}}$$
is simplified correctly.
2. **Write the original expression:**
$$\frac{2x^{2}y^{4} \cdot 4x^{2}y^{4} \cdot 3x}{3x^{-3} y^{2}}$$
3. **Multiply the numerator terms:**
$$2 \times 4 \times 3 = 24$$
For the variables, add exponents of like bases:
$$x^{2} \cdot x^{2} \cdot x^{1} = x^{2+2+1} = x^{5}$$
$$y^{4} \cdot y^{4} = y^{8}$$
So numerator becomes:
$$24 x^{5} y^{8}$$
4. **Rewrite the denominator:**
$$3 x^{-3} y^{2}$$
5. **Divide numerator by denominator:**
$$\frac{24 x^{5} y^{8}}{3 x^{-3} y^{2}} = \frac{24}{3} \times x^{5 - (-3)} \times y^{8 - 2} = 8 x^{8} y^{6}$$
6. **Check the user's final answer:**
User wrote: $$8 x^{13} y^{4}$$
Our calculation shows: $$8 x^{8} y^{6}$$
7. **Conclusion:**
The user's answer is incorrect. The correct simplified form is:
$$8 x^{8} y^{6}$$
