How do you simplify # (8wy ^2 )/(-2w)#?

Answer 1

#(8wy^2)/(-2w)=color(red)(-4y^2)#

#(8wy^2)/(-2w)=color(green)(8/(-2)) * color(blue)(w/w) * color(magenta)((y^2))=color(green)(-4) * color(blue)1 * color(magenta)(y^2)#

To simplify the expression ( \frac{8wy^2}{-2w} ), you divide each term in the numerator by the denominator:

( \frac{8wy^2}{-2w} = \frac{8}{-2} \cdot \frac{y^2}{1} = -4y^2 )
