An equation is formed of two equal expressions. The correct option is B.
An equation is formed when two equal expressions are equated together with the help of an equal sign '='.
The complete option is:
Which values of a and b make the equation true?
[tex]\dfrac{(2xy)^4}{4xy}=4x^ay^b[/tex]
A)a = 0, b = 0
B)a = 3, b = 3
C)a = 4, b = 4
D)a = 5, b = 5
The given equation can be simplified as shown below,
[tex]\dfrac{(2xy)^4}{4xy}=4x^ay^b\\\\\dfrac{2^4 \times x^4 \times y^4}{4xy}=4x^ay^b\\\\\dfrac{16x^4y^4}{4xy} = 4x^ay^b\\\\4x^{(4-1)}y^{(4-1)} = 4x^ay^b\\\\4x^3y^3 = 4x^ay^b[/tex]
Now, comparing the two sides of the equation, the value of a and b should 3 for the equation to be satisfied.
Hence, the correct option is B.
