To generate an equivalent algebraic expression, we can apply the properties of integer exponents.
First, let's simplify the numerator and denominator separately:
Numerator: 3x^3y^(-4)
Recall that a negative exponent means taking the reciprocal of the base raised to the positive exponent. So, y^(-4) = 1/y^4.
Therefore, the numerator becomes 3x^3 * 1/y^4 = 3x^3/y^4.
Denominator: 12x^7y^4
Now, we can simplify the expression by dividing the numerator by the denominator:
(3x^3/y^4)/(12x^7y^4)
To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by the reciprocal of the fraction. So, we multiply by (1/(12x^7y^4)):
(3x^3/y^4) * (1/(12x^7y^4))
Now, let's simplify the expression:
(3/12) * (x^3/x^7) * (1/y^4*y^4)
= (1/4) * (1/x^4) * (1/y^8)
= 1/(4x^4y^8)
Therefore, the equivalent algebraic expression is 1/(4x^4y^8).
So, the correct answer is: 1/4x^4y^8.

To simplify the given algebraic expression, we can apply the properties of integer exponents.
First, let's simplify the two terms inside the parentheses independently:
Term 1: (2xy^3)^4
Using the property (a^m)^n = a^(m*n), we can simplify this term as follows:
(2xy^3)^4 = 2^4 * (x^1)^4 * (y^3)^4 = 16x^4y^12
Term 2: (x^2y)^3
By using the property (ab)^n = a^n * b^n, we can simplify this term:
(x^2y)^3 = (x^2)^3 * y^3 = x^6y^3
Now, let's multiply the two simplified terms together:
(16x^4y^12) * (x^6y^3)
To multiply the terms, we can use the property a^m * a^n = a^(m+n):
= 16 * x^4 * x^6 * y^12 * y^3
Simplifying further:
= 16 * x^(4+6) * y^(12+3)
= 16 * x^10 * y^15
Therefore, the simplified algebraic expression is 16x^10y^15.
So, the correct answer is: 16x^10y^15.

To simplify the given algebraic expression, we can apply the properties of integer exponents.
First, let's simplify the term inside the parentheses:
(-5a^3b^4c^(-2)/3a^(-4)b^0c^3)^(-2)
Recall that when we have a negative exponent, we can take the reciprocal of the base raised to the positive exponent. So, c^(-2) = 1/c^2.
Simplifying the expression further:
(-5a^3b^4(1/c^2)/3a^(-4)b^0c^3)^(-2)
Now, let's simplify each variable separately:
a^3 * a^(-4) = a^(3-4) = a^(-1) = 1/a
b^4 * b^0 = b^(4+0) = b^4
1/c^2 * c^3 = c^(3-2) = c^1 = c
Now, the expression becomes:
(-5a^(-1)b^4c/3)^(-2)
Next, let's apply the exponent to each term inside the parentheses:
(-5)^(-2) * (a^(-1))^(-2) * (b^4)^(-2) * (c)^(-2/1) * (3)^(-2)
Using the property (a^m)^n = a^(m*n), we can simplify further:
(-5)^(-2) * a^((-1)*(-2)) * b^(4*(-2)) * c^((-2/1)*(-2)) * (3)^(-2)
Simplifying the exponents:
(-5)^(-2) * a^2 * b^(-8) * c^4 * (3)^(-2)
Using the property 1/a = a^(-1), we can write b^(-8) as 1/b^8:
(-5)^(-2) * a^2 * (1/b^8) * c^4 * (3)^(-2)
Recall that a negative exponent means taking the reciprocal of the base raised to the positive exponent. So, (-5)^(-2) = 1/(-5)^2 and (3)^(-2) = 1/(3)^2.
Expanding further:
1/(-5)^2 * a^2 * 1/b^8 * c^4 * 1/(3)^2
Simplifying the expression:
1/25 * a^2 * 1/b^8 * c^4 * 1/9
Finally, rearranging the terms:
a^2 * c^4 / (25 * 9 * b^8)
Therefore, the simplified algebraic expression is a^2 * c^4 / (225b^8).
So, the correct answer is: a^2 * c^4 / (225b^8).
