simplify x^5y^8/x^3y^-2

Answer 1

(x^(5)y^(8))/(x^(3)y^(-2))

Remove the common factors that were cancelled out.
x^(2)y^(10)

Cancel the common factor of x^(3) in x^(2)y^(10) since x^(2)y^(10)=((x^(2)y^(10)*x^(3)))/((*x^(3))).
x^(<X>2<x>^(2))y^(10)

Remove the common factors that were cancelled out.
x^(2)y^(10)

Cancel the common factor of y^(-2) in x^(2)y^(10) since x^(2)y^(10)=((x^(2)y^(10)*y^(-2)))/((*y^(-2))).
x^(2)y^(<X>10<x>^(10))

Remove the common factors that were cancelled out.
x^(2)y^(10)

Answer 2

x^2y^10 just subtract exponents.
