Try synthetic division.
If you are not familiar with it, try long division.

not sure how to divide with exponents

Are there any YouTube that works for you? If anything else works this should work too. If nothing else works then you may have a computer problem at your end. But this is a good video to watch.

Answer 10

After you learn synthetic division, just one point before you attempt this problem. Notice in x^3 - 7, there are missing terms. Normally, a polynomial will have decreasing exponents such as: x^3, x^2, x, and a constant. Here it goes directly from x^3 to -7. So you need to think of x^3 - 7 as x^3 + 0x^2 + 0x - 7 and use the coefficients 1 0 0 -7 when you do the synthetic division.
