Question

Simplify the following:
5 x^3 y +x y^4+ 2xy
divided by
xy

Answer 1

oops that should be changed quite a bit..
5x^3 y +xy^4+2xy

Answer 2

the spaces were too far apart..

Answer 3

\[\frac{5 x^3 y +x y^4+ 2xy }{xy}=\frac{xy(5 x^2 + y^3+ 2) }{xy}\]

Answer 4

take 'xy' out from each term, and then take a common. The xy in the numerator, would get cancelled by the 'xy' by which you need to divide the expression.

Answer 5

cancel out the "xy"? with each match to it?

Answer 6

yeah, if 'match' means this:
\[\cancel{xy}\]

Answer 7

thats what I mean o_o

Answer 8

\[\frac{5 x^3 y +x y^4+ 2xy }{xy}=\frac{\cancel{xy}(5 x^2 + y^3+ 2) }{\cancel {xy}}=5 x^2 + y^3+ 2\]

Answer 9

yeah I got that. thanks you guys
