formulate a question thanks
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how do i divide these polynomials? 10a^3+19a+9/2a+3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
You have to follow the steps for long division
OpenStudy (anonymous):
begin by dividing 2a into 10a^3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Do you know how to do that?

yes i know how to do that, but everytime i do i get a crazy answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
What did you get for your answer?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
This one is kinda weird because you get decimal numbers when you divide
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i didn't know you could have decimal answers
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i guess that makes it a lil easier

yeah, you usually don't....are you supposed to be using long division?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
are you sure the problem is written correctly? If it was "19a^2" it would work out nicely :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
unfortunately it is just 10a^3+19a+9...that's what makes its so hard
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i agree that it gives a crazy answer.

yeah, i just tried it again and it comes out with decimals. That's a strange problem.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
its crazy. did you get 5a^2-7.5a
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah, and it just gets worse from there
OpenStudy (anonymous):
lol yeah it does
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Well, you're doing it right....just a bad problem LOL
