what is the quotient

Question

54x^2/-9x^2

Answer 1

To find the quotient of \( \frac{54x^2}{-9x^2} \), you can simplify the expression as follows:

1. Divide the coefficients: \( \frac{54}{-9} = -6 \).
2. Divide the variables: \( \frac{x^2}{x^2} = 1 \) (as long as \( x \neq 0 \)).

Combining these results gives:

\[ \frac{54x^2}{-9x^2} = -6 \cdot 1 = -6 \]

So, the quotient is \( -6 \).
