Question 197520: The first one I could not figure out. The last two I tried to figure out. Would someone please help me. Thank you!!!

Divison of polynomial
(u^5z^8) / (z^-5u^-4)= ?

(2)^0 /3 = .33..
25 1/2 / 10^2 = 1/20

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Divison of polynomial
%28u%5E5z%5E8%29%2F%28z%5E-5u%5E-4%29= ?
When you divide like terms, subtract the exponents:
%28u%5E%285-%28-5%29%29%2Az%5E%288-%28-4%29%29%29
minus a minus is a plus, so we have:
%28u%5E%285%2B5%29%2Az%5E%288%2B4%29%29%29
which is
u%5E10%2Az%5E12%29

:
(2)^0 /3 = .33..
any number with an exponent of 0 = 1, so we have
1%2F3 = .3333; obviously

I'm sorry this problem makes no sense to me
25 1/2 / 10^2 = 1/20
