Question 862055: Hi, I'm having a lot of trouble on simplifying this fraction:
(8x^3-6x^2-x+15)/(2x-3)
At first I got ((2x^2-1)(x-3))/(2x-3), but my teacher said that it was wrong. Can someone help me? Found 2 solutions by Help Math, solver91311:Answer by Help Math(4) (Show Source):
The fraction cannot be simplified. Use polynomial long division to divide into the numerator and you get a remainder. I'll leave it to you to do the work to find that remainder and prove the above assertion.
