Help me solve 2x^2+3x+4 ÷ x-2 .... please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@freckles @uri @Hero

OpenStudy (dinamix):

its 2x+7+(18/(x-2))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay.. @dinamix so you end up with 2x^2+3x+4 all over x-2?

OpenStudy (plasmataco):

U should end up somewhat like (2x-a)(x-b)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so that is the answer? (2x-a)(x-b)?

OpenStudy (dinamix):

but u cant find like that dude

OpenStudy (plasmataco):

The quadratic equation ax^2+bx+c

OpenStudy (dinamix):

yup i know

OpenStudy (plasmataco):

U have to find a and b. They are the mystery numbers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But I used the numbers a=2, b=3, and c=4

OpenStudy (dinamix):

Euclidean division its easy method dude

OpenStudy (plasmataco):

We know x-2 is one of them so we get (2x-a)(x-2)

OpenStudy (plasmataco):

Now,what times -2 equals 4?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

you long or synthetic division

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2

OpenStudy (welshfella):

dinamix had the answer

OpenStudy (plasmataco):

Right. So your answer would be (2x-2)(x-2)

OpenStudy (dinamix):

hey guys all know Euclidean division , right ?

OpenStudy (plasmataco):

Now to check ur answer multiply the, together.

OpenStudy (plasmataco):

You get 2x*x+2x*2-2*x-2*-2

OpenStudy (dinamix):

lol its 2x^2-6x+4

OpenStudy (plasmataco):

Simplify it and you get 2x^2+3x+4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

woah woah woah, so the answer is "(2x-2)(x-2)

OpenStudy (dinamix):

its 2x+7+(18/(x-2)) iam sure about it mate ;D trust me

OpenStudy (plasmataco):

Waiting my bad @dinamix is correct trust him m8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so I should put "2x+7+(18/(x-2))"

OpenStudy (plasmataco):

He used long division wit da thingys

OpenStudy (plasmataco):

Yes

OpenStudy (plasmataco):

Sry :3

OpenStudy (dinamix):

its easy method euclidean division , study it right
