Answer in Brief

Express each of the following product as a monomials and verify the result for x = 1, y = 2: $\left( \frac{1}{8} x^2 y^4 \right) \times \left( \frac{1}{4} x^4 y^2 \right) \times \left( xy \right) \times 5$

#### Solution

To multiply algebraic expressions, we use commutative and associative laws along with the laws of indices, i.e.,​ $a^m \times a^n = a^{m + n}$.

We have:

$\left( \frac{1}{8} x^2 y^4 \right) \times \left( \frac{1}{4} x^4 y^2 \right) \times \left( xy \right) \times 5$

$= \left( \frac{1}{8} \times \frac{1}{4} \times 5 \right) \times \left( x^2 \times x^4 \times x \right) \times \left( y^4 \times y^2 \times y \right)$

$= \left( \frac{1}{8} \times \frac{1}{4} \times 5 \right) \times \left( x^{2 + 4 + 1} \right) \times \left( y^{4 + 2 + 1} \right)$

$= \frac{5}{32} x^7 y^7$

To verify the result, we substitute x = 1 and y = 2 in LHS; we get:

$\text { LHS } = \left( \frac{1}{8} x^2 y^4 \right) \times \left( \frac{1}{4} x^4 y^2 \right) \times \left( xy \right) \times 5$

$= \left\{ \frac{1}{8} \times \left( 1 \right)^2 \times \left( 2 \right)^4 \right\} \times \left\{ \frac{1}{4} \times \left( 1 \right)^4 \times \left( 2 \right)^2 \right\} \times \left( 1 \times 2 \right) \times 5$

$= \left( \frac{1}{8} \times 1 \times 16 \right) \times \left( \frac{1}{4} \times 1 \times 4 \right) \times \left( 1 \times 2 \right) \times 5$

$= 2 \times 1 \times 2 \times 5$

$= 20$

Substituting x = 1 and y = 2 in RHS, we get:​

$\text { RHS } = \frac{5}{32} x^7 y^7$

$= \frac{5}{32} \left( 1 \right)^7 \left( 2 \right)^7$

$= \frac{5}{32} \times 1 \times {128}^4$

$= 20$

Because LHS is equal to RHS, the result is correct.
Thus, the answer is $\frac{5}{32} x^7 y^7$.
