(a^2n - a^n - 6) / (a^n + 8) The 2n is in exponent form.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

What do we have to do/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Divide? Lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I've been stuck on this question for awhile. I can't figure it out

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Same here. Lol.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

We can factorize the numerator though. But that won't help.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol. The website I use is Mathway.com. But that won't even give me the answer so Idk what do!

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Skip the question. Simple. ;3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can't! Lol

OpenStudy (mathteacher1729):

I'm not sure what you're supposed to do with this. The numerator factors nicely, but after I don't see anything obvious as far as factoring.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just have to divide.

OpenStudy (babyx3boo):

This is all i got; because you can't divide or cancel anything. Did you typed the question right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Of course I typed it right.

OpenStudy (babyx3boo):

oh okay sorry.. i was just asking.. but i'm guessing that's it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You only simplified it... Idk what to do for this question. I can't get the answer anywhere! Lol thank you for your help, though:)

OpenStudy (babyx3boo):

No problem; but that's all you can do you can't cancel or take anything out. There's no multiple choice either right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nope :/

OpenStudy (babyx3boo):

Wait! i think i have another way to :o does it say any instructions?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is all that it says: Divide the following polynomial, then place the answer in the proper location on the grid. (a^2n - a^n - 6) / (a^n + 8)

OpenStudy (babyx3boo):

I'm guessing it has a remainder though? o.o try doing that division and see what you get :o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What about this one? Divide the following polynomial, then place the answer in the proper location on the grid. Write your answer in order of descending powers of x. (x^5 + y^5) / (x + y)

OpenStudy (babyx3boo):

Oh that's easy! give me a second.

OpenStudy (babyx3boo):

Do you understand how i got it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can't even read it..lol

OpenStudy (babyx3boo):

You want me to go step by step and explain it to you?

OpenStudy (babyx3boo):

Do you know the Pascal's triangle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nope

OpenStudy (babyx3boo):

okay well the Pascals Triangle is this 1 121 1331 14641 you will always start and end with 1. at first you only start with one and then at the second line you start with 1 2 and end with 1 at the 3rd line you going to start with 1 3 3 1 . why? well because you will always starts with 1 and then to get the other number just add the tops ones from the 2nd line 1+2= 3 which is the first 3 in the third line then for the second 3 in that line is 2+1+3 from the second line and then you end with 1? do you understand that O.o?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not at all..lol

OpenStudy (babyx3boo):

Well you read fast.. all you gotta do is the descending order one up one down and plug those numbers in.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It just doesn't make any sense to me.
