$Express the given algebraic fraction in its simplest form, use the ^ symbol (normally above the number 6 on your keyboard) to answer the question. - ProProfs$

Express the given algebraic fraction in its simplest form, use the ^ symbol (normally above the number 6 on your keyboard) to answer the question.

Explanation
The given algebraic fraction is already in its simplest form. The numerator is 5 and the denominator is x^3, which means that there are no common factors that can be canceled out. Therefore, the fraction 5/x^3 cannot be simplified any further.

$Express the given algebraic fraction in its simplest form, use the ^ symbol (normally above the number 6 on your keyboard) to answer the question. - ProProfs$

Express the given algebraic fraction in its simplest form, use the ^ symbol (normally above the number 6 on your keyboard) to answer the question.

Explanation
The given algebraic fraction is already in its simplest form. The numerator is 4x^2 and the denominator is y^5. There are no common factors that can be simplified further. Therefore, the expression 4x^2/y^5 is already in its simplest form.

$Express the given algebraic fraction in its simplest form, use the ^ symbol (normally above the number 6 on your keyboard) to answer the question, and you must ensure you use brackets correctly - think of BIDMAS. - ProProfs$

Express the given algebraic fraction in its simplest form, use the ^ symbol (normally above the number 6 on your keyboard) to answer the question, and you must ensure you use brackets correctly - think of BIDMAS.

Explanation
If you wrote:
7-y/x^2
this is not correct because using BIDMAS we would get a different answer.
