which expression is equivalent to (-4x^3 y^-5)^2
select all that apply
A) 16y^10/x^10
B)-8y^7/x^5
C)16xx^6 y^-10
D)16y^10/x^6
E)-8x^-5 y^7
To solve this problem, we need to multiply the exponents inside the parentheses by 2.
(-4x^3 y^-5)^2 = (-4)^2 * (x^3)^2 * (y^-5)^2
= 16 * x^(3*2) * y^(-5*2)
= 16x^6 * y^-10
Therefore, the expression equivalent to (-4x^3 y^-5)^2 is option C) 16x^6 y^-10.
