Answer 5

Okay, do you know what a monomial is?

Answer 6

a polynomial which has only one term

Answer 7

Correct?

Answer 8

Right :) Do you have a unique division problem and just need help solving or do you need a problem?

Answer 9

Ok! :)

Answer 10

The polynomial can be\[x^2+3x+2 \]
And the Monomial can be: \[x+1 \]

Answer 11

Is that enough info @celecity

Answer 12

x+1 isn't actually a monomial, it has two terms to it. You can just do x, if you want, or we could do something like this:

\[28x^3+42x^2-35x \div 7x\]

Answer 13

Ohhh Ok that makes more sense , ok we can use that

Answer 14

So this is literally like long division.
For example, 7x goes into 28x^3 4x^2 times, because 7 goes into 28 4 times and x times x^2 creates the x^3. Does that make sense?

Answer 15

look at this...

Answer 16

Yes that makes sense

Answer 17

You're going to do the same thing for the other two terms in the problem. Give it a shot and tell me what you get :)

Answer 18

Ok 7x divided by 42^2 = 6

Answer 19

an i doing it right?

Answer 20

Don't forget the x

Answer 21

Remember, x times x will equal the x^2!

Answer 22

so 6x^2

Answer 23

im so sorry im not good at solving polynomials i try but i just dont get it

Answer 24

\[7x \times 6x = 42x^2\]

Answer 25

is that division

Answer 26

Yep! This is just long division, with x's
