2x³ - x² + 3 divided by x - 3
I'm asked to find the quotient and the remainder.
By long division:
2x³ - x² + 3 has a missing term in x, so we must
insert a place-holder " + 0x ", and rewrite it as
2x³ - x² + 0x + 3
2x² + 5x + 15
x - 3) 2x³ - x² + 0x + 3
2x³ - 6x²
5x² + 0x
5x² - 15x
15x + 3
15x - 45
48
The quotient is 2x² + 5x + 15
The remainder is 48
Do you understand long division? If not post
again and ask for a step-by-step illustration of
how long division is performed.
