Question

Select the correct answer from the drop-down menu.

Divide the binomial by the monomial to find the quotient.
48r4y – 725672
-12.12y

Answer 1

`-(4x^2)+6(x^4)y`

Explanation:

Here apply the law of indices where ;

`A^x*A^y=A^(x+y)`

Given;

• You should first simplify the numerator using the denominator as a factor
• Then cancel the like term
• Followed by further factorization

`(48x^4y-72x^6y^2)/(-12x^2y) \\\\\\(-12x^2y(4x^2-6x^4y^2))/(-12x^2y) \\\\\\=-4x^2+6x^4y\\\\\\=-(4x^2)+6(x^4)y`
