Question 55442: I'm stmped on this one!
I am suppose to simlify the, using positive exponents only, and be sure to execute all multiplication and division.
(4x^2-4x+3)/(x-2) This is what I have:-2x^2+6x+3/y-5/2 for my final answer
Thanks, Lackinmath

I am supposed to simplify the, using positive exponents only, and be sure to execute all multiplication and division.
:
(4x^2-4x+3)/(x-2)
:
This is what I have:
-2x^2+6x+3/y-5/2 for my final answer
:
I am totally baffled by what you have, where did the y come from?
:
Anyway the problem as I see it:
%284x%5E2-4x%2B3%29%2F%28x-2%29
:
Use ordinary division, used "..." to keep things lined up:
........................4x + 4
..........-----------------
(x-2)|4x^2 - 4x + 3
............4x^2 - 8x
...........-----------
........................4x + 3
........................4x - 8
.......................--------
............................+ 11
:
Quotient: 4x + 4, remainder 11%2F%28x-2%29
