Question

Divide...
(2x^5+4x^3-5x^2+3x-2) / (x^2+2x-3)

Answer 1

As I can see they dont have a common factor

Answer 2

Can you do long division of one p-olynomial by another?

Answer 3

??

Answer 4

Obviously not!
_______________________________________
Write x^2 + 2x - 3) 2x^5 + 4x^3 - 5x^2 +3x - 2

x^2 goes into 2x^5 2x^3 times, so multiply x^2 + 2x - 3 by 2x^3 and subtract from 2x^5 + 4x^3 - 5x^2 +3x - 2

Keep going until you reach a remainder like ax +b
