Question

divide and check. HELP!
x^4+x^3/x

Answer 1

\[\frac{ x^{4}+x ^{3}}{ x}\]

Answer 2

Try to factor numerator. What do both terms in numerator have in common?

Answer 3

x

Answer 4

Yup so factor it out.

Answer 5

x^7

Answer 6

x^7/x?

Answer 7

no, just factor it out, like for example: factor a out from a² + a³ \(\Rightarrow\) a(a + a²)

Answer 8

Confused?

Answer 9

x(x^3+x^2)?

Answer 10

beyond!! math is not my strongest suit. :(

Answer 11

@geerky42

Answer 12

@bahrom7893 would you be able to help me? I'm stuck

Answer 13

\[\frac{ x^3(x+1) }{ x } \]

Answer 14

@Jim766 how so tho?

Answer 15

(x^4+x^3)/x = x^3 + x^2 how did I end up with this? agh! I'm confused! :(

Answer 16

x^4 = x*x*x*x + x^3 = x*x*x

they both have x^3 in common

Answer 17

then it reduces to

x^2(x+1)

Answer 18

so my answer would be x^2(x+1)/x?

Answer 19

\[x^4 + x^3\]
greatest common factor is \[x^3\]

now divide x^4+ x^3 by x^3 to factor it out

x^4 + x^3
--- ---- = x^1 + 1
x^3 x^3

x^3(x + 1) = x^4 + x^3
