Let f(x) = (8x^3) – (22x^2) – 4 and g(x) = 4x – 3 Find f(x)/g(x) .
use synthetic division process
I haven't learned that yet I'm supposed to be using polynomial long division but the lesson doesn't explain very well. Some of the answers have fractions in them and i don't know why.
2x^2 2x^2 -4x ------------------ ------------------ 4x – 3 ) 8x^3 – 22x^2 – 4 4x – 3 ) 8x^3 – 22x^2 – 4 8x^3 - 6x^2 ==> 8x^3 - 6x^2 => ...? ----------------- ----------------- -16x^2 +0x -16x^2 +0x -16x^2 + 12x -------------- -12x - 4
these are the answers i have 2x^2 – 4x – 3 – [(13/4x-3)] 2x^2 – 4x – 3 – [(4x-3)/(13)] 2x^2 – 7x – 1 2x^2 – 7x – 5 + [(x-4)/(4x-3)]
''Some of the answers have fractions in them and i don't know why.'' => It is because it may not be divisible by 4x-3 I just left one step there for you. Principle of workings: |dw:1343777748416:dw|
