Question

How would i divide this? Someone please help explain

Answer 1

\[\frac{ y^2-y-12 }{ y^-6y+8}\div \frac{ y^2+2y-15 }{y^-7y+10}\]

Answer 2

what?

Answer 3

First, bec it's a division, multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second. In other words, turn the problem into a multiplication by flipping the second fraction

Answer 4

so, stay change flip?

Answer 5

first fraction stays the same. second fraction flips. division sign becomes multiplication sign

Answer 6

would the answer be (y-5)/(y+5)

Answer 7

or (y+3)(y-5)/(y+5)(y-3)?

Answer 8

last answer is correct

Answer 9

can you explain how its right?

Answer 10

Ok get back to the step I told you above. Keep the first fraction as it is. Write a multiplication sign after that and flip the second fraction.

Answer 11

Next step is to factor every trinomial into two the product of two binomials. Then cancel equal binomials in the numerator and denominator.
