So let's write it as LaTex to make it easier, is it this?:
$$\LARGE \frac{2a^2+a+3}{a-1}$$

I think so.

Have you learned synthetic division yet? Or are you doing long division?

anonymous · Answer

This question is for long division. I can do it the way you had put it, but they want it in long division form.

luigi0210 · Answer

Well I have a sucky explanation when it comes to long division, but I'll try my hardest to help. Do you know how to start?

anonymous · Answer

Barely. This is the only part of polynomials that I suck at.

Alright, let's start with the setup. Use the "draw" feature the bottom of this respond box to draw it out.
