Define two terms, each containing the variables x and y, with exponents on each. (For example: 10x3y−5.) Find the quotient of the two terms. Explain step by step how you found the quotient.

Two such terms are 7x^3*y^9 and -3x*y^5

Their quotient is

7x^3*y^9

-3x*y^5

This can be simplified as follows:

The numerical coefficients become -7/3.

x^3/x = x^3*x^1 = x^(3 - 1) = x^2 (we subtract the exponent of x in the denominator from the exponent of x in the numerator).

Next, y^9*y^5 = y^4.

The quotient in final reduced form is then (-7/3)x^2*y^4
