Algebra.Com's Answer #614280 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Use polynomial long division to perform the indicated division. Write the polynomial in the form \n" ); document.write( "p(x) = d(x)q(x) + r(x). \n" ); document.write( "(−x5 + 9x3 − x) ÷ (x3 − x2 + 5) \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "Some comments:: \n" ); document.write( "1. Write the dividend (p(x)) as -x^5+0+9x^3+0-x+0 \n" ); document.write( "2. Divide by (d(x)) to get the 1st term of the quotient q(x)):: -x^2 \n" ); document.write( "3. Multiply -x^2(x^3-x^2+5) and subtract from p(x) to get \n" ); document.write( "partial divident = -x^4+9x^3+5x^2-x+0 \n" ); document.write( "4. Divide that by the divisor (d(x)) to get the 2nd term of q(x) :: -x \n" ); document.write( "etc. \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "Ans: p(x) = (x^3-x^2+5)(-x^2-x+8)+13x^2=4x-40 \n" ); document.write( "-------- \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( "---------------- \n" ); document.write( " |
