Given the expression:


(15x^4y^2-30x^2y^3+45xy)/(5xy)

• You can find the Quotient by dividing the numerator by the denominator as follows:

1. Identify the Greatest Common Factor in the numerator (the largest factor that all the terms in the numerator have in common). In this case, this is:


GCF=5xy

2. Factor the Greatest Common Factor out:


=(5xy(3x^3y-6xy^2+9))/(5xy)

3. Since:


(5xy)/(5xy)=1

You get that the Quotient is:


=3x^3y-6xy^2+9

• Given the result of dividing the Quotient obtained before by a number:


x^3y-2xy^2+3

You can identify that the Leading Coefficient is 1 and it was 3 before the division by the number.

Since:


(3)/(3)=1

You can conclude that the Quotient was simplified by dividing all its terms by 3.

Hence, the answers are:

- First option:


3x^3y-6xy^2+9

- First option:


3
