#4 \(\dfrac{10x^2y^2-35x^2y-15xy}{5xy}\) Divide each base by 5, and subtract all the exponents by 1. \(\dfrac{10x^2y^2}{5xy} = 2xy\) \(\dfrac{-35x^2y}{5xy} = -7x\) \(\dfrac{-15xy}{5xy} = -3\) Combine them: \(2xy - 7x - 3\).

sorry was doing the problems rght now so i have my answer for 4 which is C but im confused on 5

OpenStudy (igreen):

#5, Option 1 \(\dfrac{60d^{12}e^9 + 36d^8e}{12d^4e}\) Divide each base by 12, and subtract all the exponents on top of 'd' by 4, and subtract all the exponents on top of 'e' by 1. \(\dfrac{60d^{12}e^9}{12d^4e} = 5d^8e^8\) \(\dfrac{36d^8e}{12d^4e} = 3d^4\) Combine them: \(5d^8e^8 + 3d^4\) So Option 1 is correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so basically for #5 there would be one choice

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which is yes

OpenStudy (igreen):

No, it says choose ALL that are correct. So you have to go through all of them.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well what i igot for my answer choices is A and C but the rest are questionable

OpenStudy (igreen):

#5, Option 2 \(\dfrac{42w^{20}x^9 + 7w^{12}x^{12} + 28w^4x^3}{7w^4x^3}\) Divide each base by 7, and subtract all exponents on top of 'w' by 4, and subtract all exponents on top of 'x' by 3. \(\dfrac{42w^{20}x^9}{7w^4x^2} = 6w^{16}x^7\) \(\dfrac{7w^{12}x^{12}}{7w^4x^3} = w^8x^9\) \(\dfrac{28w^4x^3}{7w^4x^3} = 4\) Combine them: \(6w^{16}x^7 + w^8x^9 + 4\) Option B is incorrect.

OpenStudy (igreen):

Option C is correct..

OpenStudy (igreen):

Option D is incorrect..so you are correct.

OpenStudy (igreen):

Option B and D both divided the exponents instead of subtracting them.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh so it still woud just be one choice which is C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait now im confused so #4 is C and % is incorrect or correct

OpenStudy (igreen):

No it's A and C.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so #5 is A and C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like a said before

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yup.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thank you @iGreen now i understand #4.C #5.A and C

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thank you may you help me with one more

OpenStudy (igreen):
