Question

Simplify the following:

3xy^4z^5
__________
30x^2y^4z^4

Answer 1

\[\Huge \frac{a^x}{a^y}=a^{x-y}\]

Answer 2

So separate them:
\[\LARGE \frac{3}{30}*\frac{x}{x^2}*\frac{y^4}{y^4}*\frac{z^5}{z^4}\]

Answer 3

the top xy^4 is on term

the bottom is two term x^2 and y^4

so separating the the top xy^4 won't work

Answer 4

Yea it would, it's still multiplication. :)
