Question

I need help dividing a polynomial!!!
(10x4y3 + 5x3y2 - 15x2y - 25x2y4)/-5x2y

Answer 1

Divide the coefficients
and for variables apply the exponent rule when we divide same base , `subtract` their exponents \[\huge\rm \frac{ x^m }{ x^n }=x^{m-n}\]

Answer 2

like for first one \[\huge\rm \frac{ 10 x^4y^3}{ -5x^2y^1} =\frac{10}{-5}x^{4-2}y^{3-1}\]
y is same as y to the one power

Answer 3

subtract exponents and divide the coefficient

Answer 4

Ok,thank you!!!

Answer 5

Just to be correct on this, That would make the answer -2x^2y^2-1xy+3+5y^2 correct @Nnesha?

Answer 6

\[\huge\rm \frac{ - 25x^2y^4 }{ -5x^2y } = ??\]

Answer 7

remember y is same as y to the one power (y^1)
