Question

Can someone help me and show me what I did wrong. Problem and my work are attached.

Answer 1

This is the equation

Answer 2

divide and check polynomials I am lost I thought I did it right but i was wrong

Answer 3

what are you looking for? T?

Answer 4

he wants the answer in long division style i have no idea what he is asking

Answer 5

That is genuinely one of the most bizarre questions I've ever seen.

Answer 6

you wrote \[\huge t-4+\frac{ 3 }{ t-4 }\] but your quotient is \[\huge t+4 \] which is correct. The final answer is \[\huge t+4+\frac{3}{t-4 }\]

Answer 7

So is the long division right?

Answer 8

where did i mess up by adding the subtraction sign

Answer 9

your division is correct. you just gave the wrong quotient part in your answer written at the bottom of your solution

Answer 10

So everything was correct just my end answer? Well that is a relief

Answer 11

So how do I check to ensure it is correct?

Answer 12

multiply the quotient (t +4) and the divisor (t - 4), then add the remainder (3). if you get the original dividend (t^2 - 13) then you're convinced.

Answer 13

ok Thank you so much for helping me understand this more

Answer 14

you're welcome

Answer 15

so would it be (t+4)(t-4)+3

Answer 16

I just want to make sure iI get this right

Answer 17

+

Answer 18

(t + 4)(t - 4) + 3

Answer 19

quotient times divisor plus remainder

Answer 20

so thats all i have to put or am i missing a step this is so confusing
