Answer 1

help with what

Answer 2

You say "which of the following" but there's only one thing there...

Answer 3

I'm still not quite sure what your drawing is about. Is the question which of the following is equivalent to \[\frac{x^5y^2}{xy^2}\]?

Answer 4

Great. To simplify exponents when dividing, remember that

\[\frac{a^n}{a^m} = a^{n-m}\]

Answer 5

and \[a^0 = 1\] so long as \(a \ne 0\)

Answer 6

No, why would you guess? This is easy. \[\frac{x^5y^2}{xy^2} = \frac{x^5}{x}*\frac{y^2}{y^2}\]right?
\[x = x^1\]
So you have to simplify
\[\frac{x^5}{x^1}\] and\[\frac{y^2}{y^2}\]
The latter is just 1 so long as \(y\ne0\), and the problem says that is true.
Look at the formula for dividing with exponents again and then look at the first part here.
