Question

Divide.

(25x2 – 40x + 18) ÷ (5x – 3) (1 point)

5x-5-3/5x-3
5x-8-18/5x-3
5x-5+3/5x-3
5x-14

Answer 1

mulitpication and division from the left to right progression

Answer 2

but I don't see how it will turn into fractions

Answer 3

well for such a division to give you a polynomial that must mean (5x-3) is a cofactor, that is 3/5 must also be a root of (25x2 – 40x + 18), but it is not. so you get:
5x-5+3/(5x-3) as your answer.

Answer 4

it's a division of polynomials with remainder

Answer 5

okay it kind of makes sense. I just havent dealt with this stuff in awhile.
