I gotta do house work. @nincompoop

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hi gaby.... do you have a polynomial and monomial in mind?

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

umm 5x^4 + 4x^2 + 2x / 3 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the monomil is 3 ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's one way ^^^.... through long division..

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

x^3 @dpaInc

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just to be clear, this is your division problem: \(\large \frac{5x^4 + 4x^2 + 2x}{x^3} \) ????

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since you're dividing by a monomial, you can first see if you can cancel any common factors form the top and bottom... you see any common factors in the numerator/denominator?

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you factor the numerator? HINT: pull out the GCF

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

mmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry gabby... i gotta take off... someone should be around to take it from here....

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):
