I'm getting y^8/(3x^5)
3/9 reduced to 1/3
x^-2/x^3 reduces to x^-5 or 1/x^5
y^3/y^-5 reduces to y^8
OpenStudy (anonymous):
You should get y^8/3x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sorry 3x^5 in the denom
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the answer clostest to that has 3x^5 not 3x
OpenStudy (dumbcow):
are you sure the question is correct... i don't agree with any of the answers
\[\frac{3x^{-2}y^{3}}{9x^{3}y^{-5}} = \frac{y^{3+5}}{3x^{3+2}} = \frac{y^{8}}{3x^{5}}\]

Okay.
3*x^-2*y^3 3 x^-2 y^3
____________=__ * _____ * ______
9*x^3*y^-5 9 x^3 y^-5
Reduce each of those 3 fractions using the rule I gave to get
1/3 * x^-5 * y^8
