No, x^2/y^2 does not equal x/y.
To simplify x^2/y^2, you can take the square root of both the numerator and the denominator:
√(x^2/y^2) = √(x^2)/√(y^2) = x/y.
Therefore, x^2/y^2 simplifies to x/y.
does x^2/y^2 = x/y

well what if x = 3 and y = 2
x/y = 3/2 = 1.5
x^2/y^2 = 9/4 = not 1.5
x/y = 3/2 = 1.5
x^2/y^2 = 9/4 = not 1.5
You are correct. I apologize for the mistake in my previous response.
If x = 3 and y = 2, then
x/y = 3/2 = 1.5.
However, x^2/y^2 = (3^2)/(2^2) = 9/4 = 2.25, which is not equal to 1.5.
Thank you for pointing out the error.
