Question

help me explain?

Answer 1

i think it means simplify but i dont really get "Assume the denominator does not equal zero "

Answer 2

a zero denominator is undefined , not good

that fraction can be split into 3 individual ones, all the top terms divided by that bottom one

Answer 3

then you can use your exponent rules to clean each of em up

Answer 4

the first of them goes down to just 6x,
\[\large \frac{ 12*x^2*y }{ 2*x*y } = 6*x^{2 - 1}*y^0 = 6*x\]

Answer 5

mk

Answer 6

do you get all that

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

k, do the same for the other 2 terms

Answer 9

ok so im at this, 6x^2y-3xy+2x^2

Answer 10

not sure what you did, i finished the first term, to 6x, the others are

\[\large 6x - 3 + \frac{ 2x }{ y }\]

Answer 11

exponent property rules. like 4 to remember, you got it
