Question

Create a unique example of dividing a polynomial by a monomial and provide the simplified form. Explain, in complete sentences, the two ways used to simplify this expression and how you would check your quotient for accuracy.

Answer 1

really, not even a thank you for the other one

Answer 2

it was wrong ?

Answer 3

Maybe you typed it in wrong, but I just typed it into a computer and that's what it said. and if you know the right answer why did you ask?

Answer 4

2x^9y^4 + 4x^6y^3








2x^3y^2 + 4xy








2x^3y^2 + 4y^2








2x^3y^2 + 4y

Answer 5

those were the choices

Answer 6

Type the original problem into wolfram alpha

Answer 7

it's faster and more accurate than asking people here

Answer 8

why?

Answer 9

Rude how?

Answer 10

i agree, you keep telling me to pretty much get off this site...

Answer 11

I'm giving you advice on how to find the answer more quickly and more accurately

Answer 12

If you want to actually learn the material then this is a good place to ask, but if you just want answers then wouldn't it be easier to just type it in a computer program that gives you the answers instantly?

Answer 13

really, cause i've already tried that crap and it's pretty much like ask.com cause it's one simple sear engine . not anything more advanced ..

Answer 14

It's not a search engine, it's a computer algebra system. Did you even try it?

Answer 15

yeah

Answer 16

Go to http://www.wolframalpha.com and try typing "5x * 7x^2 / (3x -7)"

Answer 17

You get an answer: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=5x+*+7x%5E2+%2F+%283x+-7%29

Answer 18

not any of the right ones

Answer 19

Well I typed a random problem in, you have to type in your actual problem

Answer 20

My point is that it's not a search engine

Answer 21

10x^6 y^3 + 20x^3 y^2 / 5x^3y type that in alpha.. and u tell me if they give u any of the right listed answers i gave u

Answer 22

It did, but I had to do two other things. First you have to use parantheses around the numerator. otherwise it thinks you're just trying to divide the last term. i.e. like this:

(10x^6 y^3 + 20x^3 y^2) / 5x^3y

And second, if you want to simplify, try putting it all into a function called Simplify[], i.e. like this:

Simplify[(10x^6 y^3 + 20x^3 y^2) / 5x^3y]

If you do that you get exactly the right answer:

Answer 23

You have to put parenthesis around the bottom, too:

Answer 24

ok i gotchaaa :) now can u answer this question i posted. ?

Answer 25

well to create your own problem just think of a random expression using X and Y with a divisor. you can check it for accuracy after you simplify it by setting the two versions equal to each other and making sure that when you multiply everything out the equality still holds.
