Why the Y values are in the numerator and the X-Values are in the denominator?

That is not necessarily so. You can have the X-Values in the numerator and the Y-values in the denominator. The only half-way decent explanation is in the X-values represent an independent variable and the Ys are dependent.

Fraction with different units in the numerator and denominator?
This could be any fraction where the denominator and the numerator are different. For example, 1/2, 3/7, 15/8......and so on. In algebraic terms this would be written x/y where x ≠ y
What is the horizontal asymptote of f x equals x squared minus 9 divided by x squared minus 4?
y = 1. When the degree of your numerator is the same with the degree of your denominator, then y = the ratio of the leading coefficients of the numerator and denominator is the horizontal asymptote.
What is the quotient of a reciprocal?
The quotient of a reciprocal would equal the numerator squared divided by the denominator squared. i.e. (x/y)/(y/x) = x2/y2
Why do functions with vertical asympotes sometimes have a numerator of x and other times numerator of 1?
This is because whether a function has a vertical asymptote (VA) or not is not affected by the numerator. The denominator is where the VA originates when you try to divide by 0. For example, y=x/(x-1) and and y=1/(x-1) BOTH have VAs when the denominator is equal to zero. x-1=0 when x=1, so that's where the VA is, regardless of the numerator.
How do you solve 5y over 5?
5Y/5 The factor 5 appears in both numerator and denominator so it can be eliminated. = Y ===
The log of a quotient is the log of the numerator divided by the log of the denominator?
Not quite. The log(x/y) = log(x) - log(y) In words, this reads "The log of a quotient is the difference of the log of the numerator and the log of the denominator."
When you count by 5's you say my numerator When you count by 6's you say my denominator The product of my numerator and denominator is 270?
The numerator is 5x and denominator 6y 5x times 6 y = 30 xy = 270 xy = 9 thus x = 9 and y = 1 or x = 1 and y = 9 is only solution 45/6 is the fraction, or 5/54
What is a rule on how to find a ratio with a denominator if 1 without using a diagram?
Divide the numerator of the original fraction y its denominator.
What is a numerator in division?
When you write a division as one number above (or before) another, with a line between them, then the number on the top is the numerator. So, in the division x/y, x is the numerator. y is called the denominator.

y = 1. When the degree of your numerator is the same with the degree of your denominator, then y = the ratio of the leading coefficients of the numerator and denominator is the horizontal asymptote.
How do you write mix number as quotient of two integer?
If the mixed number is xy/z then the corresponding quotient is (xz + y)/z. The denominator is the same. The new numerator is the denominator times the integer part PLUS the old numerator.
The reciprocal of a positive number is?
It should also be a positive number. Let x be the numerator and y be the denominator. So you have +x/+y, the reciprocal would be +y/+x.
What is the general rule for dividing exponents with the same base?
It is the base raised to the exponent used in the numerator minus the exponent for the denominator. That is, a^x / a^y = a^(x-y)
What does inverse fraction mean?
The inverse of a fraction is simple the result of flipping it's denominator with its numerator. It is equivalent to the statement (x/y)^-1 = y/x
What is the quotient of a reciprocal?
The quotient of a reciprocal would equal the numerator squared divided by the denominator squared. i.e. (x/y)/(y/x) = x2/y2
