Step-by-Step Solution

To simplify the given expression, we start with the original expression:

(3×45×11×9)y \left(\frac{3\times4}{5\times11\times9}\right)^y .

Using the property for powers of a fraction, we distribute the exponent yy to the numerator and the denominator:

(ab)c=acbc \left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^c = \frac{a^c}{b^c}

First, apply the formula:

(3×45×11×9)y=(3×4)y(5×11×9)y \left(\frac{3\times4}{5\times11\times9}\right)^y = \frac{(3\times4)^y}{(5\times11\times9)^y} .

Next, apply the power of a product property, (ab)c=ac×bc(ab)^c = a^c \times b^c, to both the numerator and the denominator:

The numerator becomes (3×4)y=3y×4y(3\times4)^y = 3^y \times 4^y.

The denominator becomes (5×11×9)y=5y×11y×9y(5\times11\times9)^y = 5^y \times 11^y \times 9^y.

Thus, the fully simplified expression is:

3y×4y5y×11y×9y \frac{3^y\times4^y}{5^y\times11^y\times9^y} .

After comparing with the given options, this matches choice 1 and 2, so option 4 is the right one: A+B are correct

Answer

a'+b' are correct
