Question

last check for the night...
x^6 + x^2
_______________
x

x^6+x ? @satellite73 and @jim_thompson5910

Answer 1

Factor x out in numerator.
\[\dfrac{x^6 + x^2}{x} = \dfrac{x(x^5+x)}{x} = \boxed{x^5+x}\]
Does this make sense?

Answer 2

no, how did you get 5?

Answer 3

Well, I factored x out. \[x^6 = x\cdot x^5\]

Answer 4

\[\large x = x^1\]\[\large x\cdot x^5 = x^{5+1} = x^6\]

Answer 5

or you can divide x^6 by x to get x^5

then you can divide x^2 by x to get x

so that's another way to get the answer of x^5 + x

Answer 6

Ok... i see where I went wrong... thank you both. :)

Answer 7

Yep. \[\dfrac{x^6 + x^2}{x} = \dfrac{x^6}{x}+\dfrac{x^2}{x}\]

Answer 8

Glad we helped.
