Answer 1

C (3rd option)

You divide the fraction into 2 separate fraction, one with ONLY the x values and one with ONLY the y values. Divide the x^2 by the x^4, and get 1/(x^2). You divide the y^3 by y^2, and get y. You multiply these 2 together, and get y/(x^2). This is C

Answer 2

When a base with an exponent is divided by a base with an exponent, you subtract the exponents together. (But you can only combine the exponents when the bases are the same)

For example:

`(x^2)/(y^3)` (Can't combine the exponents as they have different bases of x and y)

`(x^5)/(x^3) =x^((5-3))=x^2`

`(y^8)/(y^1) = y^((8-1))=y^7`

When you have a negative exponent, you move the base with the negative exponent to the other side of the fraction to make the exponent positive.

For example:

`x^(-3)` or
`(x^(-3))/(1)=(1)/(x^3)`

`(1)/(y^(-2)) =(y^2)/(1)` or
`y^2`

`(x^2y^3)/(x^4y^2) =x^((2-4))y^((3-2))=x^(-2)y^1=(y)/(x^2)`
