Question

What is (6x^3y^15) / (3xy)?

Answer 1

2 x^2 y^14

Explanation:

Simplify the following:

(6 x^3 y^15)/(3 x y)

6/3 = (3×2)/3 = 2:

(2 x^3 y^15)/(x y)

Combine powers. (2 x^3 y^15)/(x y) = 2 x^(3 - 1) y^(15 - 1):

2 x^(3 - 1) y^(15 - 1)

3 - 1 = 2:

2 x^2 y^(15 - 1)

15 - 1 = 14:

Answer: 2 x^2 y^14
