simplify \(\frac{6^{2n + 1} \times 9^n \times 4^{2n}}{18^n \times 2^n \times 12^{2n}}\)
A. 3
2nB. 3 x 2
3n - 1C. 2
nD. 6
E. 1
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
\(\frac{6^{2n + 1} \times 9^n \times 4^{2n}}{18^n \times 2^n \times 12^{2n}}\) = \(\frac{(2 \times 3^{2n + 1} \times 3^{2n}) \times 2^{4n}}{(2 \times 9)^n \times 2^n \times (6 \times 2^{2n})}\)
= \(\frac{(2^{2n + 1} \times 3^{2n + 1}) \times 3^{2n} \times 2^{4n}}{2^n \times 3^{2n} \times 2^n \times 2^{4n} \times 3^{2n}}\)
= \(\frac{2^{2n} + 1 + 4^n \times 3^{2n} + 1 + 2^n}{2^{n + n + 4n} \times 3^{2n + 4n} \times 3^{2n + 2n}}\)
= \(\frac{2^{6n + 1} \times 3^{4n + 1}}{2^{6n} x 3^{4n}}\)
= 26n + 1 - 6n x 34n + 1 - 4n
2 x 3 = 6
