its a division... and i think i did it right but i'm not sure.. 9x^4y^3+18x^2y-27xy^4 / 9x^2y^3 the answer i got was x^2+2/y^2-3y/x... did i get it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

don't think so... let me try

OpenStudy (anonymous):

divide /cancel out nominator & denominator by (9x^2 y^3), left: x^2 +2 x y^(-26)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i did that... i divided the 9,18 and 27 by 9 from the bottom and cancelled out any of the leftover letters so i had the x squared = the 2 [from the 18] over the y squared minus the 3[leftover from the 27] and a y over the x

do you agree with the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i made it three peroblems then put them all together at the end

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did you get the same answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats the -26 you have on a post

OpenStudy (anonymous):

power of y: y^(-27)*y^4/y^3=y^-26

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9x^4y^3 + 18x^2y - 27xy^4 --------------------------- 9x^2y^3 separating into three separate fractional terms 9x^4y^3 18x^2y 27xy^4 --------- + --------- - --------- 9x^2y^3 9x^2y^3 9x^2y^3 Now cancelling out common terms from the numerators and denominators 2 3 y x^2 + ----- - ------ y^2 x

@kmo yr answer is right......

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry... I mis-red your equation :( I thought that y in a power of (-27)...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o! thats okay- makes me feel good that i got it right haha thank you for your help =]
