SOLUTION: I am trying to find the answer the the following problem. The book states to find each Quotient. (2u^3-13u^2-8u+7)/(u-7) (-11u-8u-7)/(u-7) (-3u+7)/(u-7) This is as far as I ha

Question 6892: I am trying to find the answer the the following problem.
The book states to find each Quotient.
(2u^3-13u^2-8u+7)/(u-7)
(-11u-8u-7)/(u-7)
(-3u+7)/(u-7)
This is as far as I have gotten.
Thanks in advance.

divide by (u-7) using long division, to give . This means that:

can be written as

Now, your attempted answer is so very bad, William that i am nearly at a loss for words, and yet you must be in a fairly advanced stage of your maths studies, to be doing long division of polynomials.

I would have to say that you understand very little of algebra if what you wrote is your true attempt. You need to sit with your teacher and get him/her to TEACH you the basics of algebra.
