Question

Assuming x ≠ 0 and y ≠ 0, what is the quotient of http://learn.flvs.net/webdav/assessment_images/educator_algebra1_v14/10_20_q27.jpg if you cant get too that then I'll just type it out

Answer 1

anyone who isn't using FLVS won't be able to see it.

Answer 2

oh okay ill type it then

Answer 3

or just take a screenshot :/

Answer 4

8x^9y^3+2x^6y^2 + 8x^3y/ 2x^3y

Answer 5

and yeah thats a good idea lol

Answer 6

right-click on the jpeg, "save image as" then here, [attach file] :P

Answer 7

I have it typed there

Answer 8

$$
8x^9y^3+2x^6y^2 + \cfrac{8x^3y}{2x^3y} \huge ?
$$

Answer 9

there anyway

Answer 10

So that is \[\frac{8x^9y^3 + 2x^6y^2 + 8x^3y}{2x^3y}\]?

Answer 11

and correct

Answer 12

what you typed is what @jdoe0001 posted...need parentheses around the numerator to make it equal to what you expected. remember PEMDAS!

So go through each term in the numerator and divide by the denominator. Do you know how to handle the exponents?

Answer 13

@jdoe0001 is that an answeror if you are wondering if that is what i typed i attached it now

Answer 14

I saw it :), whpalmer4 got it correct

Answer 15

so what is the next step

Answer 16

@whpalmer4 okay I understand that step what do I do with the exponents

Answer 17

Okay, if you have the same base, you add when multiplying and subtract when dividing.

\[x^n*x^m = x^{n+m}\]\[\frac{x^n}{x^m} = x^{n-m}\]
