| ① | Multiply $y^2$ by $ \dfrac{1-x^4y}{x^2} $ to get $ \dfrac{-x^4y^3+y^2}{x^2} $. Step 1: Write $ y^2 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{1} $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} y^2 \cdot \frac{1-x^4y}{x^2} & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{y^2}{\color{red}{1}} \cdot \frac{1-x^4y}{x^2} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ y^2 \cdot \left( 1-x^4y \right) }{ 1 \cdot x^2 } = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ y^2-x^4y^3 }{ x^2 } = \frac{-x^4y^3+y^2}{x^2} \end{aligned} $$ |
| ② | Subtract $ \dfrac{-x^4y^3+y^2}{x^2} $ from $ 9x^4y^6 $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ 9x^6y^6+x^4y^3-y^2 } }{ x^2 }$. Step 1: Write $ 9x^4y^6 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: To subtract raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
| ③ | Subtract $x^2y$ from $ \dfrac{9x^6y^6+x^4y^3-y^2}{x^2} $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ 9x^6y^6+x^4y^3-x^4y-y^2 } }{ x^2 }$. Step 1: Write $ x^2y $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: To subtract raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
