Question

Look at this expression. PLEASE IM SO CONFUSED :(
x^5y^3z^3 over xy^-3z^-1 (im supposed to find the simplest form of this expression)

Answer 1

when dividing terms like this, you subtract the corresponding exponents

Answer 2

x^5 divided by x = x^5 divided by x^1 = x^(5 - 1) = x^4

So x^5 divided by x = x^4

Do the same for the other terms

Answer 3

the problem appears to be that the denominator involves negative powers... \[\frac{x^5y^3z^3}{xy^{-3}z^{-1}}\]

just use the rule shown above but take care when subtracting a negative power.... which occurs with y and z
