Solve -15x^4/3x

Question

Please solve!

-15x⁴ / 3x

Negative fifteen 'x' to the fourth power OVER three 'x'

Answer 1

On questions like these, I find it best to expand it to the best of our ability.  What I mean is:

(-15)(x)(x)(x)(x)

---------------------- .

(3)(x)

Then we can simplify (-15/3). Also, remember that dividing exponents simply means

to subtract them.  So, our x's would be x⁴/x. So, (-15/3)(x⁴/x).
