Question

can

(19x+18)/(x+1)

be simplified?

Answer 1

no it cannot, but you can use polynomial long division to divide that

Answer 2

\[\frac{ 19x + 18 }{ x + 1 }\]
and no

Answer 3

polynomial long division? how so?

Answer 4

has your class learned about it yet?

Answer 5

yes, i put that answer and it didn't accept it. thats what i got after doing this problem...
(9x-13)/(x+1) + (9x+31)/(x+1)

Answer 6

no you should get something in the form of

q(x) + r(x)/(x+1)

where q(x) is some polynomial function and r(x) some other polynomial function

Answer 7

so do i take out 18? i don't get it
