2. What is the simplified form of this expression?
2 • 2 • 2 • 3 • 3
-----------------
2 • 2 • 2 • 3 • 3 • 3
a. 0
b. 2 • 3^-2
c. 1/2
d. 3^-2

Answer

The expression simplifies as follows:

The numerator is 2 • 2 • 2 • 3 • 3 = 2³ • 3².

The denominator is 2 • 2 • 2 • 3 • 3 • 3 = 2³ • 3³.

Canceling common factors, we get:

(2³ • 3²) / (2³ • 3³) = 3^2-3 = 3^-1 = 1/3.

However, this does not match any of the given options exactly. The closest option is:

d. 3^-2
