Hi there,

 

I have tried this problem to this point...how to do further?

5+1x34y2+3

=5x3+1x3/4+3y2y2

=5x3+1x3y24+3y2

=5x3y2+y24x3+3x2y2

=2+y24x3+1

 

Is this the answer?..Thanx to anyone who is willing to assist..

Hi,

 

The second last line looks right  but the last line is not correct. :/   (why did you think it was?)

 

I don't think you can go further than the second last line.  I might leave the factorising in but it doesn't matter.

Hi Melody,

 

it's me, Juriemagic...

 

uhm, well, this problem is actually one I found on the link you posted me a few days ago on negative indices. I actually notice now that I made an error. I should have had the last line as =2x+y24x3+1

 

because I'm thinking that the 5x3y23x2y2 leaves 2x?
