amistre, satellite, saifooo, larange 7x-5 / [(x+2)(x-1)] need to find remainder, is it possible?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

forgot to mention HERO

hero (hero):

Are you sure, you don't have the numerator and denominator backwards?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope messed up question

hero (hero):

What lesson are you on in pre-cal?

hero (hero):

I've never seen a problem similar to this before. Seems pretty bizarre to me.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope advanced function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wow all the names lemme down no hero, no larange, no amistre, no saifoo

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my bad hero was here

hero (hero):

According to my calculator, the remainder is just 7x+5, but don't quote me on that

hero (hero):

Actually, it makes sense now that I think about it

hero (hero):

You can't do anything else with that. If you were doing a regular polynomial where you could divide and you got a remainder, it would be the remainder over the divisor, where the remainder is in the numerator and the divisor is in the denominator.

lol this wasnt the question but this is what it boiled down to so i wrote 7x-5 as answer, but i didnt know that it could also be called on as remainder, i think i got it right

hero (hero):

Hmmm, okay. I hope it is right for your sake.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it was a contest question, hopefully i got it right.....

hero (hero):

I hope it's right. You always make sure you have the toughest question before you come here.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

rofl...no point in bothering ppl if i am capable of using textbook and other resources to figure it out

hero (hero):

Very good. You are a respectable student here. If every student here was like you, I don't think I would have made Master as fast.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i come here from time to time but only answer the harder questions, cause i got bored of answering the easy ones

hero (hero):

Wow

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well repetitive math can get annoying, u know tht hero

OpenStudy (nottim):

Sherlock Holmes Mindset, no?

OpenStudy (nottim):

Selective cases only.

zarkon is typing a reply... been waiting for this

OpenStudy (zarkon):

the degree on the bottom is larger...I would say 7x-5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thnkx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lets imagine x = 10 then it is like asking for the remainder when you divide \[\frac{65}{108}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

zarkon is there anyplace u are more availible other than openstudy, i find u are the only one who can usually help me with contest questions..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since the denominator is greater than the numerator, the remainder is just the numerator.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yh i think i got the right answer but i wanted to chek thnkx satellite
