Question

http://prntscr.com/9eb6nb Could anyone please help me with this division problem?

Answer 1

@jigglypuff314 are you available? :P

Answer 2

I only just finally understood polynomial division myself recently
so I'm not sure if I can explain it that well .-.

I can try tho :3

look at the highest power of the thing you are dividing by
and compare it to the highest power of the thing you are dividing into

so in this case we are comparing 3x^2 and x
does that make sense so far? :)

Answer 3

lol I think so.

Answer 4

ok so now I have to think
what should we multiply to "x" to make it "3x^2" ?

Answer 5

that would be 3x right?
because x * 3x = 3x^2 ?

so we multiply through 3x times (x + 6)
and get
3x^2 - 18x

Answer 6

Yes it be 3x. why do we multiply?

Answer 7

You just recently understood this so nvm my questions lol

Answer 8

question*

Answer 9

x times (something) = 3x^2
because of how division works,
3x^2 divided by this (something) = x

the values we found would make our division look like this
