| Topic | Polynomial Division & Manipulation |
| Type | Polynomial Expansion and Simplification |
| Difficulty | Easy -1.8 This is a straightforward algebraic manipulation requiring only basic index laws (multiplying powers, dividing powers) with no problem-solving element. It's a single-step simplification that tests routine recall of fundamental rules, making it significantly easier than average A-level questions which typically involve multi-step reasoning. |
| Spec | 1.02a Indices: laws of indices for rational exponents |
3 Simplify $\frac { \left( 3 x y ^ { 4 } \right) ^ { 3 } } { 6 x ^ { 5 } y ^ { 2 } }$.
