Divide the polynomials. Please help me with this problem because I am getting stuck on it. Thanks. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2a^2-9a-5 ÷ 2a+1=?
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "Do it just like long division.
\n" ); document.write( "2a^2/2a = a That's the first term
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "a*(2a + 1) = 2a^2 + a
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "2a^2- 9a-5
\n" ); document.write( "2a^2 + a
\n" ); document.write( "____ -10a-5 (subtracting gives -10a + 5)
\n" ); document.write( "So the 2nd term is -5
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "2a^2-9a-5 ÷ 2a+1 = a-5\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
