does x^2/y^2 = x/y
Answered by Damon
well what if x = 3 and y = 2
x/y = 3/2 = 1.5
x^2/y^2 = 9/4 = not 1.5
Answered by GPT 3.5
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.

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.
