Can someone help me with division of polynomials?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

divide all the terms of numerator with x respectively

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3x^3 + 5x + 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its divided by x and look at all the terms

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes this is the answer

OpenStudy (poopsiedoodle):

When you divide terms, you subtract the exponents. 5x^4 - x^1 = 5x^3

OpenStudy (poopsiedoodle):

only in division though.

OpenStudy (poopsiedoodle):

it just goes down one. So, 5x.

OpenStudy (poopsiedoodle):

So, it would be A. :3

OpenStudy (poopsiedoodle):

3x^4/x is 3x^3.

OpenStudy (poopsiedoodle):

because 3x^3 * x is 3x^4.
