Question

how can i simplify 8x^2y^4z^16 divided by 4xyz^4 ?

Answer 1

look at the problem this way



\[\frac{8}{4} \times \frac{x^2}{x}\times \frac{y^4}{y} \times \frac{z^{16}}{z^4}\]

when dividing the index law is subtract the powers

\[\frac{x^a}{x^b} = x^{a-b}\]

use this to get the solution

and simplify

\[\frac{8}{4}\]
