Simplify the expression

8x^8/3 y^4 - The first option

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we need to do is the exponent outside the bracket and leave the 8 till last, because exponents always come before multiplying coefficients. When an term with an exponent is multiplied by another exponent outside a bracket, the exponents of both terms are multiplied by the exponent outside the bracket.

This means that the expression is now:

8(x^2*4/3 y^3*4/3)

First we can so the x term. The x term already has an exponent of 2, so the 2 is multiplied by the 4/3 exponent outside the bracket. 2*4/3 = 8/3, so the x term is now: x^8/3

The same happens to the y term: 3*4/3 simplifies to 4, so the y term is now y^4.

So now our expression is:

8(x^8/3 y^4)

Now the 8 outside the bracket simply multiplies on to the whole term so we finish with:

8x^8/3 y^4 - The first option.

Hope this helped!

answer:   segregation violated the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment, which holds that no state can “deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

details/explanation:

brown v. board of education of topeka, decided by the us supreme court in 1954, ruled that all americans are entitled to the same civil liberties and protections in regard to access to education. until that decision, it was legal to segregate schools according to race, so that black students could not attend the same schools as white students.   an older supreme court decision, plessy v. ferguson (1896), had said that separate, segregated public facilities were acceptable as long as the facilities offered were equal in quality.   in the case of brown v. board of education, that standard was challenged and defeated.   segregation was shown to create inequality, and the supreme court unanimously ruled segregation to be unconstitutional.

the ruling was important in advancing civil rights because it affirmed that the 14th amendment applies to all rights and privileges of citizens, including access to   education.   this was being violated by states whose laws supported the segregation of schools.   section 1 of the 14th amendment reads as follows:
