Question 577831: My math problem is
3x^3y^4z^-2 / 6x^-1y^3z^-3
Okay, really, I don't understand how to do this.
I mean, as far as I know, we need to factor out the first part.
So, ()()....But since they are three exponents, I'm not really sure how we're supposed to configure exponents.
(x )(x )
As far as I am thinking, we should have some sort of.....
(x+y)(x-z)
In there or something??
Like I said, I don't know how to solve it. Any help would be appreciated.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
%28%283x%5E3y%5E4z%5E-2%29%29+%2F+%28%286x%5E-1y%5E3z%5E-3%29%29
You can't solve it, only simplify it, there is no equal sign
Cancel the 3 in to 6
%28%28x%5E3y%5E4z%5E-2%29%29+%2F+%28%282x%5E-1y%5E3z%5E-3%29%29
combine the like term exponents to result in all positive exponents
%28%28x%5E%283%2B1%29y%5E%284-3%29z%5E%28-2%2B3%29%29%29+%2F+2
:
%28%28x%5E4y%5E1z%5E1%29%29+%2F+2 = %28%28x%5E4yz%29%29+%2F+2
