Question

divide x raised to 3 by x +1

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

You would set it up like a normal long division problem x-1/[x^3] and the goal here would be to multiply the x in the (x-1) by something to get x^3. That something is x^2 so you would multiply x-1 by x^2 and you would get x^3-x^2. Then you would subtract this from x^3 and be left with x^2. You would continue this process by multiplying x-1 by x to get x^2-x then subtract that from x^2 to get x and once more by multiplying x-1 by 1 and subtracting that from x leaving you with just one and since you can’t put x into 1 the 1 would become a remainder and put over x-1 this would leave you with the answer

x^2+x+1+(1/(x-1))
