Answer by longjonsilver(2297) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
you have a long division of by v-4

First thing is do you know how to do long division of numbers? Second thing, can you do it with algebraic expressions?

I cannot really show you the process, set out well here, but i shall try.

Process:
how many times does v (-->from the v-4) go into ?. Answer is

Now take this and multiply it by both terms of the v-4 and write the answers under the corresponding terms in the . Now subtract them... You are left with

Now repeat the process:
How many times does v (--> from the v-4) go into ?. Answer is .

Now take this and multiply it by both terms of thet v-4 and write the answers under the correspnding terms in the . Now subtract them.. You are left with (v-4).

Now repeat the process:
answer is 1.
blah blah blah... ok?

so, final answer is , as stated in your book
