Question

I NEED HELP PLEASE I WILL GIVE MEDALS AND WHATEVER YOU NEED!!!!

Part A: Divide (8x4y3 + 4x3y2 - 2x2y - 12x2y4) by -2x2y. Show your work, and justify each step.

Part B: How would your answer in Part A be affected if the x2 variable in the denominator was just an x?

Part C: What is the degree and classification of the polynomial you got in Part A?

Answer 1

You can split this up and reduce separately if that makes it easier.
\[\frac{ 8x^4y^3 }{ -2x^2y }+\frac{ 4x^3y^2 }{ -2x^2y }-\frac{ 2x^2y }{ -2x^2y }-\frac{12x^2y^4 }{ -2x^2y }\]

Answer 2

i just have to complete that to get A?

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

basically what @slobo_da_hobo is telling you is to cancel the number of x's and y's
for example X^3/x2 = x * x * x/x* x = x (3x's divided by 2 x's gives one x)

Answer 5

i'll do the first one:
\[8x^4y^3/-2x^2y = -4x^2y^2\]
