Question

How to simplify the following x^8/2y*5y^2/x^3?

Answer 1

Since multiplying and dividng are equal in order...from left to right:

 

[x⁸ / (2y)]*[(5y²)] / [x³]

 

= (x⁵ 5y)/2

 

 

Answer 2

I am interpreting this equation as:

 

(x⁸/2y)*(5y²)/(x³) = [(5x⁵y)/2]

Answer 3

Hi Gr;

x⁸/2y*5y²/x³

This can also be represented as...

(x⁸/2y)(5y²/x³)

Let's consider x⁸/x³ .  8-3=5  This is now x⁵

(x⁵/2y)(5y²)

Let's consider (1/y)(y²).  y is y¹ .  Therefore 2-1=1  This is now y.

(x⁵/2)(5y)

(5x⁵y)/2

or

(2.5)(x⁵y)
