Okk Thankyou (: . Now how do i write it though ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you have a polynomial of degree 4 divided by a polynomial of degree 1
what is the degree of your answer?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and you have the coefficients

-3x^3+x^2-5x -4
-----
x – 5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no you forgot the first 1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
bottom row is
1 -3 1 5 -4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x^4 -3x^3+x^2-5x -4
-----
x – 5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
im getting confused :(

polynomial should be degree 3, not 4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i see the confusion
you have a constant, and also a remainder
the constant is the second to last number
the remainder is the last number
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the last row is
1 -3 1 5 -4
try again, but this time start with \(x^3\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
5 is the constant, no \(x\) there
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x^3 -3x^2+x-5 -4
-----
x – 5

tada!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Omgg . YOu Great ! Thankyou !
OpenStudy (anonymous):
except...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1 -3 1 5 -4
\[x^3-3x^2+x+5-\frac{4}{x-5}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you had \(-5\) as the constant, but the bottom row had \(5\) not \(-5\)
maybe it was a typo
