Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
First, we can simplify the expression under the fifth root:
−243x2y10=−35x2y10=−(3x)2y10\frac{-243x^2}{y^{10}}=-\frac{3^5x^2}{y^{10}}=-\frac{(3x)^2}{y^{10}}y10243x2=y1035x2=y10(3x)2
Now, we can take the fifth root:
−(3x)2y105=−(3x)25y105=−3xy21y85=−3x15y2y85=−3xy21y35=−3xy2y35\sqrt[5]{-\frac{(3x)^2}{y^{10}}}=-\frac{\sqrt[5]{(3x)^2}}{\sqrt[5]{y^{10}}}=-\frac{3x}{y^2}\sqrt[5]{\frac{1}{y^8}}=-\frac{3x\sqrt[5]{1}}{y^2\sqrt[5]{y^8}}=-\frac{3x}{y^2}\sqrt[5]{\frac{1}{y^3}}=-\frac{3x}{y^2\sqrt[5]{y^3}}5y10(3x)2=5y105(3x)2=y23x5y81=y25y83x51=y23x5y31=y25y33x
This is equivalent to choice D.
