Question

Part A: Divide (8x4y3 + 4x3y2 - 2x2y - 12x2y4) by -2x2y. Show your work, and justify each step.

Part B: How would your answer in Part A be affected if the x2 variable in the denominator was just an x?

Part C: What is the degree and classification of the polynomial you got in Part A? (2 points)

Answer 1

Let's simplify step-by-step.8x4y3+4x3y2−2x2y−12x2y4=8x4y3+4x3y2+−2x2y+−12x2y4Answer:=8x4y3−12x2y4+4x3y2−2x2y
