$\frac{ 8x4y^3+4x3y^2-2x2y-12x2y^4}{ -2x2y}$ Do you know what to do here?

2. OregonDuck

yes you have to divide it

3. OregonDuck

i just do not know how to divide something so big

4. OregonDuck

can you plz help

It's actually quite simple. Start with the first part they give you and and divide it by -2x2y So that gives you: $\frac{ 8x4y^3 }{ -2x2y }$ So 8x/-2x, would be -4. Now 4y^3/2y would be 2y^2. Then you would have to multiply -4(2y^2), giving you -8y^2 for the first part

Do you understand how I got that for the first part of the equation?

10. OregonDuck

yes

11. anonymous

Okay, now do the same for every other part of the equation
