What is the quotient in simplest form, and state the restrictions on the variable.
y^2 - 5y + 6 over y^3 PLUS y^2 + 3y - 10 over 4y^2
Can someone help?? I have ZERO clue how to do this.

I MEANT DIVIDED, NOT PLUS, SORRY
[(y^2-5y+6) / y^3] / [(y^2+3y-10) / (4y^2) ] ????
[(y-2)(y-3) / y^3] / [(y-2)(y+5) / (4y^2) ]
[(y-3) / y^3] / [(y+5) / (4y^2) ]
[(y-3) ] / [(y+5)y / (4) ]
[4(y-3) ] / [(y+5)y ]
[(y-2)(y-3) / y^3] / [(y-2)(y+5) / (4y^2) ]
[(y-3) / y^3] / [(y+5) / (4y^2) ]
[(y-3) ] / [(y+5)y / (4) ]
[4(y-3) ] / [(y+5)y ]
Did you post this as "Sonsetto" earlier?
It was just as confusing then as it is now.
I am guessing you have something like this:
(y^2 - 5y + 6)/(y^3) + (y^2 + 3y - 10)/(4y^2)
or did you mean:
[ (y^2 - 5y + 6)/(y^3) ] / [ (y^2 + 3y - 10)/(4y^2) ]
those brackets are absolutely essential, waiting for your clarification.

I have a hunch that if the students were able to get the parentheses right they could do the problems :)
