Question

Divide.
(5x^2+33x+22)/(x+6)

Answer 1

\[\frac{ 5x^2+33x+22 }{ x+6 }\] So here, were trying to find a factor of the numerator that will cancel out the denominator (hopefully)
Do you know howto factor out the numerator?

Answer 2

5x^2+30x?

Answer 3

Not exactly. I am working out the problem myself as I go along with you, one minute! :)

Answer 4

Ugh so confusing, I remember doing this 5 years ago :/

Answer 5

I got 5x+3 with a R of 4

Answer 6

Ohh. are you using long division to solve this?

Answer 7

Lets see if i can get the same thing :D Haha

Answer 8

Yeah im using long division

Answer 9

Ok I think i see where you're going with this.m

Answer 10

You're trying to see which numbers you can MULTIPLY to (x+6) in order to cancel out each term in the numerator

Answer 11

So when you're trying to eliminate 5x^2, you want to see what numbers and variables you can multiply to (x+6) to first equal 5x^2
