Question

12x^3y^2+9x^2y^3/3x^2y

Answer 1

What can you factor out of the numerator?

Answer 2

its suppose to be a divsion

Answer 3

Correct, but the way to simplify it is to factor the numerator first.

Answer 4

okay explain to me

Answer 5

\[\frac{ 12x ^{3}y ^{2}+9x ^{2}y ^{3} }{ 3x ^{2}y }\]
now what is H.C.F of 12 &9 ?

Answer 6

It is 3.
lowest power of x in the numerator=2
lowest power of y in the numerator=2
common in the numerator\[=3x ^{2}y ^{2}\]
\[=\frac{ 3x ^{2}y ^{2}\left( 4x+3y \right) }{ 3x ^{2}y }\]
now you can solve.
