Simplify the expression (38)12×(23)3\left(\frac{3}{8}\right)^{-\frac{1}{2}} \times (2 \sqrt{3})^{3}.

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. We need to simplify the expression (38)12×(23)3\left(\frac{3}{8}\right)^{-\frac{1}{2}} \times(2 \sqrt{3})^{3}.
2. We will use the properties of exponents to simplify the expression.

STEP 2

First, we will simplify the term (38)12\left(\frac{3}{8}\right)^{-\frac{1}{2}}. The negative exponent means we take the reciprocal of the base and the exponent 12\frac{1}{2} means we take the square root.
(38)12=(83)12\left(\frac{3}{8}\right)^{-\frac{1}{2}} = \left(\frac{8}{3}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}

STEP 3

Next, we simplify the square root of the fraction.
(83)12=83\left(\frac{8}{3}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}} = \sqrt{\frac{8}{3}}

STEP 4

We can simplify the square root of the numerator and the denominator separately.
83=83\sqrt{\frac{8}{3}} = \frac{\sqrt{8}}{\sqrt{3}}

STEP 5

Simplify the square root of 8, which is 2 times the square root of 2.
83=223\frac{\sqrt{8}}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{2\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}}

STEP 6

Now we will simplify the term (23)3(2 \sqrt{3})^{3}. We will use the property of exponents that (ab)n=anbn(ab)^{n} = a^{n}b^{n}.
(23)3=23(3)3(2 \sqrt{3})^{3} = 2^{3}(\sqrt{3})^{3}

STEP 7

Calculate the value of 232^{3} and (3)3(\sqrt{3})^{3} separately.
23=82^{3} = 8 (3)3=3×3×3(\sqrt{3})^{3} = \sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3}

STEP 8

We know that 3×3=3\sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3} = 3, so we can simplify (3)3(\sqrt{3})^{3}.
(3)3=3×3(\sqrt{3})^{3} = 3 \times \sqrt{3}

STEP 9

Now we can combine the results from steps 7 and 8.
(23)3=8×3×3(2 \sqrt{3})^{3} = 8 \times 3 \times \sqrt{3}

STEP 10

Calculate the product.
8×3×3=2438 \times 3 \times \sqrt{3} = 24\sqrt{3}

STEP 11

Now we have simplified both terms separately. The original expression has become:
223×243\frac{2\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}} \times 24\sqrt{3}

STEP 12

We can simplify the expression further by multiplying the numerators and denominators.
223×243=22×2433×3\frac{2\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}} \times 24\sqrt{3} = \frac{2\sqrt{2} \times 24\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3}}

STEP 13

Simplify the denominator 3×3\sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3}, which equals 3.
22×2433×3=22×2433\frac{2\sqrt{2} \times 24\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3}} = \frac{2\sqrt{2} \times 24\sqrt{3}}{3}

STEP 14

Now we can cancel the 3\sqrt{3} in the numerator with one in the denominator and simplify the fraction.
22×2433=2×2423\frac{2\sqrt{2} \times 24\sqrt{3}}{3} = \frac{2 \times 24\sqrt{2}}{3}

STEP 15

Divide 24 by 3.
2×2423=2×82\frac{2 \times 24\sqrt{2}}{3} = 2 \times 8\sqrt{2}

STEP 16

Calculate the final product.
2×82=1622 \times 8\sqrt{2} = 16\sqrt{2}
The simplified form of the expression (38)12×(23)3\left(\frac{3}{8}\right)^{-\frac{1}{2}} \times(2 \sqrt{3})^{3} is 16216\sqrt{2}.
