Question

I am trying to find help in dividing polynomials when there are two variables : example problem (4x^3y^2+8xy^2-12x^2y^3) / 4xy

Answer 1

x^2y + 2y -3xy^2

Answer 2

How?

Answer 3

Divide each term by 4xy. This is how you can do it:

4x^3y^2/4xy = x^2y

8xy^2/4xy = 2y

-12x^2y^3/4xy = -3xy^2

Therefore, the answer is: x^2y+2y-3xy^2
