Question

Simplify the rational expression x^4 y^2/xy^7.

Answer 1

Answer: $x^3y^9$

Step-by-step explanation:

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): Dot was discarded near "7.".

STEP 1:

Simplify $\frac{y^2}{x}$

The equation at the end of step 1:

$((x^4)*\frac{y^2}{x} )*y^7$

Multiplying exponential expressions:

2.1    $y^2$ multiplied by $y^7$ $=y^(2+7)=y^9$

Final result is $x^3y^9$
