Example Questions

Example Question #491 : Variables

Divide the following monomial quotients:

$\frac{15xy^{3}}{5x}$ $\displaystyle \frac{15xy^{3}}{5x}$

Possible Answers:

3xy $\displaystyle 3xy$

$3y^{3}$ $\displaystyle 3y^{3}$

$3x^{2}y$ $\displaystyle 3x^{2}y$

$y^{3}$ $\displaystyle y^{3}$

Correct answer:

$3y^{3}$ $\displaystyle 3y^{3}$

Explanation:

To solve this problem, split it into two steps:

1. Divide the coefficients

$\frac{15}{5}=3$ $\displaystyle \frac{15}{5}=3$

2. Divide the variables. We also need to remember the following laws of exponents rule: When dividing variables, subtract the exponents.

$\frac{x}{x} =x^{1-1}=1$ $\displaystyle \frac{x}{x} =x^{1-1}=1$

$\frac{y^{3}}{1}=y^{3}$ $\displaystyle \frac{y^{3}}{1}=y^{3}$

Combine these to get the final answer:

$3y^{3}$ $\displaystyle 3y^{3}$
