Question

4x^2+26x-48 divided by x+8

Answer 1

Specify a method, please: Long division or synthetic division? Which one have you the more experience with?

Answer 2

Do I multiply the top and bottom by x+8?

this is actually finding the function of f(x)=4x^2+26x-48
g(x)=x+8

I am to solve for f and g when f/g

Answer 3

Forgive the delays in my responses. I'd thought that this was a problem in long division, and had not realized that you are working with "compositions of functions."

Could you possibly take a screen shot of this problem and attach the image via Attach File? I'd like to be sure we're both on the right track.
