Question

1. Which of the following is equivalent to x^5y^2/xy^2 when x not= 0 and y not= 0?
a. x^6y^5
b. x^5y
c. x^4y
d. x^4

Answer 1

d. x^4

you can divide the expression into: (x^5 / x) * (y^2 / y^2).

x^5 / x = x^4

y^2 / y^2 = 1

and x^4 * 1 = x^4.

hope you understand it better now...it takes practice for exponents to become easy peasy pumpkin peasy pumpkin pie (get the reference? XD)
