find the quotient: (-49y^4+42y^3)/7y

factor the numerator.

7y^3(-7y+6)/7y

does that help?

-49y^4 / 7y + 42y^3 / 7y =

-7y^3 + 6y^2 = Quotient.
The quotient can be factored if required:
y^2(-7y + 6).

To find the quotient (-49y^4 + 42y^3) / 7y, we can divide each term in the numerator by the denominator separately.

Let's start by dividing -49y^4 by 7y:

-49y^4 / 7y = -((7 * 7 * 7 * y * y * y * y) / (7 * y)) = -7y^3.

Next, let's divide 42y^3 by 7y:

42y^3 / 7y = (7 * 6 * y * y * y) / (7 * y) = 6y^2.

Therefore, the quotient (-49y^4 + 42y^3) / 7y is -7y^3 + 6y^2.
