Question

Divide f(x) by d(x), and write a summary statement in the form indicated.

f(x) = x^4 + 4x^3 + 6x^2 + 4^x + 5; d(x) = x^2 + 1

Answer 1

Have you learned long division yet?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

I would use long division to simplify the expression. But it's also just simple enough to write f(x)/d(x) right? My guess is that they want you to use long division here though.

Answer 4

okay let me try

Answer 5

would I use synthetic division?
