Answer:

2x^2y^3 + 3y

Explanation:

Divide the Coefficients Like you would a normal division problem for each term separately. Then subtract the like exponents.

We have to simplify the given expression:


(14x^5y^4+21x^3y^2)/(7x^3y)

Dividing the terms of the numerator by the given term of denominator individually, we get

=
(14x^5y^4)/(7x^3y)+(21x^3y^2)/(7x^3y)

By using the laws of exponent,
a^m / a^n = a^(m-n), we get

=
\frac{7 * 2 x^5y^4} {7x^3y} + (7 * 3 x^3y^2)/(7x^3y)

=
\frac{2 x^5y^4} {x^3y} + (3 x^3y^2)/(x^3y)

=
{2 x^(5-3)y^(4-1)} + 3 y^(2-1)

=
{2 x^(2)y^(3)} + 3 y

Therefore, the simplification of the given expression is
{2 x^(2)y^(3)} + 3 y.

So, Option 3 is the correct answer.
