Question 170133: I'm doing long division for division of algebraic expressions and trinomials............ question is ...
_________________
2x^4 + 4x^3 + 2 / x^2 - 1 long division = x^2 - 1 / 2x^4 + 4x^3 + 2
answer is 2x^2 + 4x + 2 and i have no idea how they arrived at that answer?? Answer by checkley77(12844) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Your answer [2x^2+4x+2][x^2-1] when multiplied does not=[2x^4+4x^3+2]
2x^2+4x+2
x^2-1
-----------------
2x^4+4x^3+2x^2-2x^2-4x-2
(2x^4+4x^3-4x-2) does not=(2x^4+4x^3+2)????????
