Divide: 48xy4 - 72xy2

12xy2
a.

4xy2 - 6xy2

b.
4y2 - 6

c.
4xy - 6y

d.
4y - 6

Option D is answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 we find  the Highest common factor of the numerator  

which is obtained by taking minimum exponent of each term

since 48 and 72 both are divided by 24 and we get 2 and 3 after taking 24 common

and since its x which is common in both

highest common factor for y is ,we have , and 1

so altogether we can take we have expression as

on simplifying it ,we get

2(2y-3) which can be written as 2y-6 after distributing 2 inside.
