Question

chapter 6 test a
simplify the expression. write yo

1. $\frac{15x^{3}y^{4}}{3x^{-5}y^{9}}$

Explanation:

Step1: Simplify the coefficients

$\frac{15}{3}=5$

Step2: Simplify $x$-terms using exponent rule

$x^{3 - (-5)} = x^{3+5}=x^8$

Step3: Simplify $y$-terms using exponent rule

$y^{4 - 9}=y^{-5}$

Step4: Combine all simplified parts

$5 \times x^8 \times y^{-5}$

Answer:

$5x^8y^{-5}$ or $\frac{5x^8}{y^5}$
