Question

simplify (21v^5z^4-32v^5z^6)/(-4v^4z^5)

Answer 1

Find the GCF (greatest common factor) of the numerator first. Do you know how to do that?

Answer 2

Lol no I suck at GCF all I know is something about combining like terms

Answer 3

Oh and it can't be in parentheses thats what the sheet says :/

Answer 4

Haha. It's okay :) I'll show you.

21v^5z^4 - 32v^5z^6
You can take a v^5 and a z^4 out... it would look like:
v^5z^4(21 - 32z^2) for the numerator

Answer 5

It can't be in parenthesis? whattttt
Let's just continue and see what we get.

Answer 6

Lol Yeee like the topic is about getting it simplified, it can on be in a fraction and thats about it or just normal

Answer 7

So v^5z^4(21 - 32z^2) on the top, -4v^4z^5 on the bottom.
Divide by v^4 and z^4 and you'll get:
v(21 - 32z^2)/(-4z)

Are you sure the number in the top is 21 and not 24?

Answer 8

No it says 21 and it has the division sign not the /

Answer 9

/ is the same as the division sign

Answer 10

I kept trying to solve it like a normal polynomial but it shows something completely different -.-

Answer 11

Oh lol then yeee

Answer 12

Haha :) So I believe your final answer (assuming everything has been typed correctly) will be:
v(21 - 32z^2)/(-4z)

You can't really simplify it further...
If you don't want parenthesis, just distribute the v on the numerator and you're done.

Answer 13

So i solved it but it was still incorrect so it gave me this answer


The answer is
\[-\frac{21v }{ 4z }+8vz\]

Answer 14

e.e lol Idk this whole thing makes no entire sense to me .-. I am about to head to the deep end and youtube the heck out of this topic lol But i will medal and fan you for helping me out, thank you so much

Answer 15

Hmm interesting. I guess they divided the numerator into two different terms.
Definitely dive into Youtube! Some good stuff on there :) Sorry for not getting you the right answer :/

Answer 16

Lol it's totally fine -.- flipping hate math but thanks anyways lol
