Question

How to do the monomials

Answer 1

Given:

The given monomial expression is $\frac{16 y^{8}}{4 y^{2}}$

We need to simplify the given monomial expression.

Simplification:

Let us simplify the given expression.

Dividing the numbers 16 and 4, we get;

$\frac{4 y^{8}}{y^{2}}$

Let us apply the exponent rule  $\frac{x^{a}}{x^{b}}=x^{a-b}$ in the above expression.

Thus, we get;

$4 y^{8-2}$

Subtracting the numbers in the numerator of the above expression, we get;

$4 y^{6}$

Thus, the simplified expression is $4 y^{6}$
