Perform the indicated operation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(6y2 + 10y - 4) ÷ (3y - 1) = _____

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Use Synthetic division.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do I do that?

hartnn (hartnn):

it would be lot easier if you could factor 6y^2 + 10y - 4 can you ?

hartnn (hartnn):

what are the 2 numbers whose sum is +10 and product is 6*(-4)=-24 ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6 and 4's sum is 10 and their product is 24, but how do I get a negative 24?

hartnn (hartnn):

think of a number greater than 10 and another number negative.

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

no need for synthetic dvision...

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

o I c

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

do you see how what I did relates to what hartnn was saying?

hartnn (hartnn):

i wish alice could figure that out...

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

she stoped responding.

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

sorry

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

your right

hartnn (hartnn):

no problem :) alice, those 2 numbers ?>

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12 and -2?

hartnn (hartnn):

correct! so break up 10y as +12y-2y

hartnn (hartnn):

now can you factor, 6y^2+10y-4 ?

hartnn (hartnn):

6y^2 + 10y - 4 = 6y^2 +12y-2y-4 what can you factor out from 6y^2+12y ?
