Question 114981: Hi , can you help me with a division of polynomials problem?
(x-3) divided by (3x^3-11x+10x-12)
I keep on getting confused on when you have to bring down the numbers and doing the next step.This problem is not in the book ,it's from a handout. I looked in the book for examples but I still mess it up somewhere down the line. Could you show me an easier way to do this if any.
Thankyou
Laurie
