Question

Find the quotient
70a^2b^3+45a^3b^2+20ab/-5ab

Answer 1

Are you writing \[\frac{ 70a^{2}b^{3}+45a^{3}b^{2}+20ab }{ -5ab }\]

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

Alright, this problem can be solved by factoring. We can pull -5ab out of each term in the numerator, and divide: \[\frac{ (-5ab)(-14ab^{2}-9a^{2}b-4) }{ -5ab }\] The -5ab cancels out of the numerator and denominator, and you are left with \[-14ab^{2}-9a^{2}b-4\] Make sense?
