Question

24x^10y/24x^3y^6 simplify

Answer 1

\[\Large \frac{24x^{10}y}{24x^3y^6} \implies \frac{24}{24} \times \frac{x^{10}}{x^3} \times \frac{y}{y^6}\]
does that help?

Answer 2

yes, okay so when I tried doing this problem I got x^7 * y^-5

Answer 3

correct...now simplify it by putting y^5 in the denominator \[\implies \frac{x^7}{y^5}\]
got it?

Answer 4

yes thank you! I am always second guessing myself.

Answer 5

haha welcome ^_^

Answer 6

ok, so if I rewrite it in an equivalent form with positive exponents would it be x^7/y^5 or do I have to flip flop the equation y^5/x^5

Answer 7

x^7/y^5

Answer 8

thank you again.

Answer 9

welcome
