Question

Simplify 425xy⁴/25xy²

Answer 1

We have the expression

`(425xy^4)/(25xy^2)`

We can already simplify x because it's both on the numerator and denominator

`(425y^4)/(25y^2)`

Now we can simplify 425/25 = 17

`(17y^4)/(y^2)`

Remember that

`(a^n)/(a^m)=a^(n-m)`

Then

`17y^(4-2)=17y^2`

The final result is

`17y^2`
