Divide and, if possible, simplify. $$\frac{\sqrt{x^{5} y^{3}}}{\sqrt{x y}}$$
Added by Lisa F.
Step 1
First, we can simplify the square roots by using the property $\sqrt{ab} = \sqrt{a} \sqrt{b}$: $$\frac{\sqrt{x^{5} y^{3}}}{\sqrt{x y}} = \frac{\sqrt{x^{4} x y^{2} y}}{\sqrt{x y}} = \frac{x^{2} y \sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x y}}$$ Show more…
