Question

dividing polynomials

Answer 1

what's the problem? you must remember like terms.

Answer 2

@dmax, do you have a specific math problem you're working on related to dividing polynomials? If so, you should post it.

Answer 3

4xsquared -28x+16 divided by x-8

Answer 4

\[\frac{4x^2 - 28x + 16}{x - 8}\]

Answer 5

@dmax

Answer 6

that is the one

Answer 7

can u help me?

Answer 8

Have you tried long division for this?

Answer 9

not this one8 doesn't go into 4 properly

Answer 10

It's long division, so you have to assume that it won't divide evenly

Answer 11

so would I do it in .5 times

Answer 12

\[\frac{4x^2 - 28x + 16}{x + 8} = \frac{4x^2 + 32x - 60x + 16}{x + 8}\]
\(=\dfrac{4x^2 - 32x}{x + 8} - \dfrac{60x - 16}{x + 8}\)

\( = 4x - \dfrac{60x + 480 - 496}{x + 8}\)

\(= 4x - \dfrac{60 + 480}{x + 8} + \dfrac{496}{x + 8}\)

\(= 4x - 60x + \dfrac{496}{x + 8}\)

Answer 13

@dmax

Answer 14

that makes a whole lot more sense thx dude

Answer 15

Good luck understanding it fully.

Answer 16

it explains

Answer 17

Do you think you can do a polynomial division on your own using the same method?

Answer 18

try me

Answer 19

But do this one:

\[\frac{8x^2 - 30x + 45}{x + 7}\]

Answer 20

8x-30+\frac{ 6x }{ 6? }\]

Answer 21

Not exactly

Answer 22

This is more difficult than you think

Answer 23

am i close

Answer 24

I wouldn't say that you are. You might be able to figure out the first term. But figuring out the rest of it is the difficulty.

Answer 25

the fraction?

Answer 26

You got 8x correct, but the rest of it is wrong.

Answer 27

But like I said, the first term is easy to figure out anyway

Answer 28

The correct answer is

\[8x - 86 + \frac{647}{x + 7}\]

Answer 29

It would be impressive if you could figure out the steps in-between
