%28y%5E5+-+3y%5E3+%2B+8y%5E2%29%2F%285y%29 Start with the given expression


%28y%5E2+%28y%5E3-3y+%2B+8%29+%29%2F%285y%29 Factor out the GCF y%5E2


%28y+%28y%5E3-3y+%2B+8%29+%29%2F%285%29 Divide y%5E2%2F%285y%29 to get y%5E2%2F%285y%29=y%2F5


%28y%5E4-3y%5E2+%2B+8y%29%2F%285%29 Distribute


So %28y%5E5+-+3y%5E3+%2B+8y%5E2%29%2F%285y%29 simplifies to %28y%5E4-3y%5E2+%2B+8y%29%2F%285%29
