Algebra.Com's Answer #172684 by nyc_function(2741) You can put this solution on YOUR website! The divisor given to you is (x + 4). We plug that into (x - c). Then we use the new value for c as the main factor to multiply each coefficient with.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(x - c) = (x - 4)\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We will use -4 as the main factor to multiply each coefficient with.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Also, since no x squared term was given in your numerator, we must keep descending order of exponents when doing division of polynomials.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, the new numerator becomes 5x^2 + 0x^2 + 6x + 256\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The answer will be in the form\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "trinomilal - remainder/original divisor\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Answer:\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5x^2 - 20x + 86 - [88/(x + 4)]\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To learn how to do this yourself, visit the link below.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "http://www.wtamu.edu/academic/anns/mps/math/mathlab/col_algebra/col_alg_tut37_syndiv.htm \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
