Question

$\frac{5x + 2}{x - 3 } = \frac{ - 9}{4}$
linear equation​

Answer 1

Answer:

Unlike the examples on the previous page, nearly all polynomial divisions do not "come out even"; usually, you'll end up with a remainder.

Divide 3x3 – 5x2 + 10x – 3 by 3x + 1

I start with the long-division set-up:

Looking only at the leading terms, I divide 3x3 by 3x to get x2. This is what I put on top:

x^2 up on top

Step-by-step explanation:

4) = –7

This division did not come out even. What am I supposed to do with the remainder?

Think back to when you did long divisions
