please help with this division problem
(8x^3 +18x^2 +10x +15) / (2x+4)
@Mehek14 ?
it says i should have a quotient and a remainder
@Jadeishere ?
Do you have to use a specific method?
no
Okay.. Let's see here :) We could do Long Division of polynomials or Synthetic division, which is quicker, and in my opinion, easier
which one would you like?
ok. whatever you think is best
Well alrighty then! 8x^3 +18x^2 +10x +15) / (2x+4) We'll do long division because I don't think synthetic will work here :( |dw:1466438696675:dw|
would you like me to explain it, or do you understand what happened while dividing?
i think i might need you to explain,please
The quotient would be the answer and the Remainder (R) would be the leftover number at the end :P Okay, the first thing I did was treat this like a problem without polynomials, dividing the first term in the long division sign by the first term outside of the long division sign \[8x^3 \div 2x = 4x^2\]
ok
so what happened to the +4?
medal ...

Okay! That's where you get the fun part, in my opinion.. ! |dw:1466439324715:dw|
