Question

Simplify

10x^{2}y^{-5}y^{3}
5xy^{2}
THAT'S A FRACTION^
Formulate a rule on how to simplify powers with same bases when dividing

Answer 1

The answer is -10xy
(10x^2)(-5y^3)/5xy^2
=-50x^2y^3/5xy^2
=-10x^2y^3/xy^2
=-10xy

x^2/x is the same thing as X^2-1
y^3/y^2 is the same thing as Y^3-2
