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(48569) (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,
