Question

Can someone help me please???

Answer 1

@Evoker can u help??

Answer 2

Looks like perhaps you need to do polynomial division

Answer 3

yea

Answer 4

ok the process is very similar to long division lets set up the first one, you will need to set up locations for the missing pieces also.

Answer 5

ok

Answer 6

so this would be the initial setup

Answer 7

so the first step is to find what times x yields x^5

Answer 8

x^4?

Answer 9

exactly, so we put that above the first term, and then multiply it times the divisor and put it underneath like this

Answer 10

then subtract the lower bit like this

Answer 11

and then repeat the process with the new front term of x^4

Answer 12

Understanding so far?

Answer 13

yea

Answer 14

@Evoker

Answer 15

OK so just to do another step what times x gives x^4

Answer 16

x^3

Answer 17

Right so repeating the process now put that up on the top and multiply times x-1 and basically do the same steps like this.

Answer 18

got it thanks!

Answer 19

ok, good of course stop when you get to the x term where I think it will go in evenly

Answer 20

ok thanks... do u know how to do #5?

Answer 21

@Evoker

Answer 22

@Evoker ?

Answer 23

Ah ok sorry let's see

Answer 24

Basically you need to do the division, the fist term will have x which has a degree of 1 so it will have a lower degree

Answer 25

Assuming they both have positive degrees, the division should have a lower degree than m but not necessarily than p.
