\[\frac{-3x^{6}*y^{4}}{x-3y-2}\]?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you would have to apply one of the laws of indices in this question:
\[\Large \frac{ x^a }{ x^b }~=~x ^{a-b}\]
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
\[\frac{-3x^{6}y^{4}}{x^{-3}y^{-2}}\]

@zzr0ck3r yes that is the expression, sorry. i need it simplified.
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
so \[-3x^{6-(-3)}y^{4-(-2)}\]

= \[-3x^{?}y^{?}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so in this case, you have
\[\Large -3x ^{6-(-3)}y ^{4-(-2)}\]
\[\Large -3x^9y^6\]
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

close this and ask another, but I would try and understand how we got this one first. then try the next on your own, then ask if you can't get it.
