Question

Can I simplify this algebraic fraction?

Answer 1

\[3a ^{3} - 9a ^{2} + 32a - 10 \over a ^{2} + 3a - 10\]

Answer 2

I don't think so I got this when I've tried:

\[= [3a^2(a-3) + 2(16a-5)]/(a^2 + 3a -10)\]

can't be simplified any further, I guess ^_^

Answer 3

the bottom can be factored into (a-2)(a+5)

Answer 4

yeah, but that's it :)

Answer 5

You could do partial fraction expansion

Answer 6

see http://wolframalpha.com/input/?i=(3a^3-9a^2%2B32a-10)%2F(a^2%2B3a-10)

Answer 7

all you have to do is simplify and not integrate lol

Answer 8

long division -> partial fraction

Answer 9

oh right lol , my bad ^^"
