Question

When dividing polynomials, what do you do when an x is the denominator? You don't have to solve the example, I just need an explanation.

example: 4x^3+5x^2+3x/x

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure what you would do is factor the numerator so it becomes
\[\frac{ x(4x^2+5x+3) }{x }\]

Answer 2

Now you just cross out the x..

Answer 3

x would cancel out..!

Answer 4

sort of

Answer 5

Why distribute if I factored it lol

just cross out the 2 x's
