use long divison to divide the polynomials c^2-11c+24/c-8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, so first you have to look at what you need to multiply c by, in order to get c^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would you just take c^2 divide c to get c then you have c^2-8c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subtract c^2 - 8c from c^2 - 11c + 24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then you would take c^2-11c c^2-8c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you got it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then you get -19c right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

na, it's -11c - -(8c), or -3c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry i don't follow

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you subtract c^2- 8c from c^2-11c, so c^2 - 11c - (c^2-8c) = c^2 - 11c - c^2 + 8c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so you get -3c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then divide -3+24 by x-8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what happens to the c on -3c
