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

jhannybean · Answer

$$\frac{ 5x^2+33x+22 }{ x+6 }$$ 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?

5x^2+30x?

jhannybean · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

I got 5x+3 with a R of 4

jhannybean · Answer

Ohh. are you using long division to solve this?

jhannybean · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

Yeah im using long division

jhannybean · Answer

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

jhannybean · Answer

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

jhannybean · Answer

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
