True/False

In your role as a technical reviewer, you are auditing the simplification of a scaling factor used in a logistics model. The original expression is (2xy2x3y2)2(12xy3x3y1)1\left(\frac{2xy^2}{x^3y^{-2}}\right)^2\left(\frac{12xy^3}{x^3y^{-1}}\right)^{-1}. True or False: The first correct step in simplifying this expression is to reduce the variables inside the parentheses to obtain the intermediate form (2y4x2)2(12y4x2)1\left(\frac{2y^4}{x^2}\right)^2\left(\frac{12y^4}{x^2}\right)^{-1}.
