This is a bit hard to show you the long division technique in this awkward interface, but I can show you the synthetic division way easier...
\n" ); document.write( "First write out what value of x makes the divisior zero next to the coefficients of the dividend:
\n" ); document.write( "4___2___-3___-15\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "______________
\n" ); document.write( "Bring down the 2 and multiply it times the 4...watch...
\n" ); document.write( "4___2___-3___-15\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "________8_____
\n" ); document.write( "____2
\n" ); document.write( "Now add -3 and 8, multiply by 4 and continue...watch...\
\n" ); document.write( "4___2___-3___-15\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "________8___20__
\n" ); document.write( "____2___5
\n" ); document.write( "Add again...this is your remainder, 5. The other 2 and 5 are the coefficients of the quotient...
\n" ); document.write( "4___2___-3____-15\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "________8___20__
\n" ); document.write( "____2___5____5\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So your answer is 2x + 5 + 5/(x-4) \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
