Question 23309: i am homeschooling my daughter and i need help explaining a problem to her i have the answers and how it is worked but dont understand how they get it.
the problem is c^4-d^4 by c-d in the problem the teachers manuel explains it but it also adds some other things to the problem like this
c-d then inside the division box is c^4+oc^3d+oc^2d^2+0cd^3-d^4 why all the zero's and where do they come from?
Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Because as you do the division you need a position
for each power of "c" from c^4 down to c^0. It is
similar to dividing 1000005 by 233. To do the division
properly you need those zeros to indicate there are
no tens, no hundreds, no thousands, etc.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Stan H.
