find the qoutient of. 2x^3-x^2y-11xy^2+10y^3 / x-2y

Question

anonymous · Answer

Looks suspiciously like you'd be able to try factoring by grouping...
Try factoring the first two terms and then the last two terms of the numerator and see if there's another common factor in there. That might be easier than jumping straight to the long division.

anonymous · Answer

Hmm, no, factor-by-grouping is a no go.

anonymous · Answer

ok.

anonymous · Answer

How are you with ye old polynomial long division?

anonymous · Answer

i suck at it

anonymous · Answer

OK, well it's pretty much the same as regular long division with numbers, so set it up as if you were doing good ol' elementary arithmetic long division and step through the algorithm.

|dw:1346446089725:dw|see this, we are trying to find what to multiply (x-2y) by so that the first term on the left cancels out each time (leaves us with a zero). I have left the last step for you to try.
