I am doing some math problems but cant figure out how to do them because there are no examples in the text book. The problems are: 9x^6+12x^4-6x^3-3 divided by 3x^2 The number after the up arrows are exponents. The above problem is divinging a polynomial by a monomial. The next problem is dividing a polynomial by a binomial. 6x^2+3x-7 divided by 3x+6.in the next few problems i have to simplify the expressions. 5y^2 multiplyed by 3y^5. 5a^4b^7 over 15a^5b^6. 3y^3(4y^-4). 12x^8y^-4 over 3x^3y^6. I have been trying to figure these out but im stumped. Can someone help?

5y^2 times 3y^5 When you are multiplying exponents and the bases are the same, you keep the base and add the exponents.You treat the whole numbers as you always do. The answer then is 15y^7.
5a^4b^7 divided by 15a^5b^6. When dividing exponents and the bases are the same, keep the base and subtract the exponents. Sometimes the larger exponent is in the denominator...still subtract but keep it in the denominator. The answer is b over 3a.
