Answer 2

suggest start by finding factors of the denominator

Answer 3

Shouldn't I divide first ?

Answer 4

3rd degree polynomial so 3 roots

Answer 5

yes, divide x64 by the denom

Answer 6

x^4* by the denom

Answer 7

so (x+ 1) a factor

Answer 8

because the degree in the numer has to be smaller than that in the denom

Answer 9
