A. 4x8y3
B. 4x8
C. x4y3
D. 4y3

Answer 1

\[\frac{ 16x^4y^3 }{ 4x^4 }\]

The x^4's cancel out. 16/4 reduces to 4.
You are left with 4y^3

Answer 2

\[16\div 4 =4\] and \[x^4\div x^4=1\]

Answer 3

hey do you know synthetic division? so much easier?

Answer 4

\(\bf \cfrac{ \cancel{16}\cancel{x^4}y^3 }{ \cancel{4}\cancel{x^4} }\implies ?\)

Answer 5
