Answer 1

Answer:

$-(4x^2)+6(x^4)y$

Step-by-step explanation:

Here apply the law of indices where ;

$A^x*A^y=A^{x+y}$

Given;

• You should first simplify the numerator using the denominator as a factor
• Then cancel the like term
• Followed by further factorization

$\frac{48x^4y-72x^6y^2}{-12x^2y} \\\\\\\frac{-12x^2y(4x^2-6x^4y^2)}{-12x^2y} \\\\\\=-4x^2+6x^4y\\\\\\=-(4x^2)+6(x^4)y$
