Question

Find the quotient: (a ^ 3 - 6a ^ 2 + 9a - 2) / (a - 2)
pls help me ​

Answer 1

Answer:

STEP

1

:

Equation at the end of step 1

(((a3) - (2•3a2)) - 9a) - 2

STEP

2

:

Checking for a perfect cube

2.1 a3-6a2-9a-2 is not a perfect cube

Trying to factor by pulling out :

2.2 Factoring: a3-6a2-9a-2

Thoughtfully split the expression at hand into groups, each group having two terms :

Group 1: -9a-2

Group 2: -6a2+a3

Pull out from each group separately :

Group 1: (9a+2) • (-1)

Group 2: (a-6) • (a2)
