Question

select the equivalent expression.
\\(\frac{x^{-3}y^{5}y^{-4}}{x^{-3}}\\)

answer attempt 1 out of 3
\\(\frac{y}{x^6}\\) \\(y\\)
\\(\frac{x^6}{y}\\) \\(\frac{1}{y}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Combine like y terms

$y^{5}y^{-4}=y^{5+(-4)}=y^{1}=y$

Step2: Simplify x terms

$\frac{x^{-3}}{x^{-3}}=x^{-3-(-3)}=x^{0}=1$

Step3: Multiply simplified terms

$1 \times y = y$

Answer:

$y$
