Q. Divide.(25xz0+20x6z0)÷(−4x3z5)Simplify your answer as much as possible.
Simplify terms with exponents: First, simplify the terms with exponents raised to the power of 0, since anything raised to the power of 0 is 1. So, xz0 becomes x⋅1=x and x6z0 becomes x6⋅1=x6.
Rewrite expression: Now, rewrite the expression with the simplified terms: −4x3z525x+20x6.
Split into fractions: Next, split the division into two separate fractions: −4x3z525x + −4x3z520x6.
Simplify each fraction: Simplify each fraction by dividing the coefficients and subtracting the exponents of like bases: −425×x3x×z51+−420×x3x6×z51.
Perform division and subtraction: Perform the division and subtraction of exponents: (−425)⋅(x1−3)⋅(z0−5)+(−420)⋅(x6−3)⋅(z0−5).
Simplify exponents and coefficients: Simplify the exponents and coefficients: (−425)×(x−2)×(z−5)+(−5)×(x3)×(z−5).
Rewrite with negative exponents: Since x−2 means 1/x2 and z−5 means 1/z5, rewrite the expression:(−425x2z5)+(−z55x3).
Combine terms over common denominator: Combine the terms over a common denominator, which is 4x2z5:(−25−20x3×4)/(4x2z5).
