Answer

$\frac{x^{4}}{4y^{8}}$

Work Step by Step

The given expression is $=(\frac{2x^0}{4x^{-2}y^4})^2$ $=(\frac{2x^0}{2^2x^{-2}y^4})^2$ Use $\frac{a^n}{a^m}=a^{n-m}$. $=(\frac{x^{0+2}}{2^{2-1}y^4})^2$ Simplify. $=(\frac{x^{2}}{2^{1}y^4})^2$ Use $(\frac{a}{b})^n=\frac{a^n}{b^n}$. $=\frac{(x^2)^2}{(2y^4)^2}$ Use $(ab)^n=a^nb^n$. $=\frac{(x^2)^2}{(2)^2(y^4)^2}$ Use $(a^n)^m=a^{n\cdot m} $ $=\frac{x^{2\cdot 2}}{2^{ 2}y^{4\cdot 2}}$ Simplify. $=\frac{x^{4}}{2^{2}y^{8}}$ $=\frac{x^{4}}{4y^{8}}$.
