Question

Simplify 425xy⁴/25xy²

Answer 1

We have the expression

$\frac{425xy^4}{25xy^2}$

We can already simplify x because it's both on the numerator and denominator

$\frac{425y^4}{25y^2}$

Now we can simplify 425/25 = 17

$\frac{17y^4}{y^2}$

Remember that

$\frac{a^n}{a^m}=a^{n-m}$

Then

$17y^{4-2}=17y^2$

The final result is

$17y^2$
