Question

...

Answer 1

For this problem, when you divide by exponents, the exponents subtract. For example x^2-x^1= x. You can separate each of the variables. Hope this helps

Answer 2

so it would be 4-12?

Answer 3

No you do that only for the x variable

Answer 4

So it would be 1- 3

Answer 5

-2

Answer 6

Yup that is correct. Now for the y variable only subtract the y's

Answer 7

Btw the x^-2 that you came up with is in the denominator. To make it positive, just put it in the numerator and it turns to x^2

Answer 8

20x^2

Answer 9

Yup, for the whole number we can simply view the problem as 20 divided by 4 so what is that?

Answer 10

5

Answer 11

Yup. So far we have 4x^2 for our answer. We just need to figure out the y and z now? What do you think the y is?

Answer 12

*I mean 5x^2

Answer 13

0

Answer 14

Why do you think y is 0?

Answer 15

because you cant do y^4 or y^2

Answer 16

Wait oops my bad I made a mistake. The x would be in the denominator to make it positive, so so far we have 5/x^2

Answer 17

Where did you get the y2 from?

Answer 18

the second part

Answer 19

In the screenshot you posted there is not y2

Answer 20

sorry i meant the 24

Answer 24

different assignment*

Answer 25

Steps:

1. we can treat 20/4 as a regular division problem so it is 5. So far we have the number 5 for our solution.

2. We do the x variable next. x^1 - x^3 = x^-2, but since this is negative, we drop it from the numerator to the denominator to make it positive, we want to make all exponents positive. So so far we have 5/x^2 as our answer.

3. We do the y variable next so y^4-y^1 = y^3. Since this is positive we keep it in the numerator. So far for our answer we have 5y^3/x^2.

4. Lastly we do the z variable. z^12-z^24 = z^-12 which is negative so we drop it down from the numerator to the denominator.

Our final answer would be 5y^3/(x^2)(z^12)

understand?

Answer 26

ok thank you

Answer 27

np. Do you understand how to do this though?

Answer 28

yes
