Question

Divide 35b5 + 20ab3 + 20a2b2 by 5b2.

Answer 1

Determine the independent and dependent variables, and then identify what the slope of a graph of this data represents.


For every increase of 2.5 mph in the motorboat's speed, the parasail can fly 1 foot higher.


For every increase of 0.4 mph in the motorboat's speed, the parasail can fly 5 feet higher.


For every increase of 1 mph in the motorboat's speed, the parasail can fly 2.5 feet higher.


For every increase of 2 mph in the motorboat's speed, the parasail can fly 2.5 feet higher.

Answer 2

\[\frac{35b^5 + 20ab^3 + 20a^2b^2}{5b^2}\\
=\frac{35b^5}{5b^2} + \frac{20ab^3}{5b^2} + \frac{20a^2b^2}{5b^2}\\=\dots\]

Answer 3

cancel common factors for each term,

\[\frac{35b^5}{5b^2}= \frac{(\cancel{5}\cdot7)b^{\cancel 53}}{\cancel{5b^2}}=7b^3\]

Answer 4

what do you get when you cancel the factors of the second term @devonallison12 ?

20ab^3 / 5b^2 = ?

Answer 5

do you understand how i have broken up the big fraction into three terms ,
and canceled factors in the first term (that are common to the numerator and the denominator)
@devonallison12 ?
