Question 91960: I'm not sure if you got my questions before. I asked a total of four questions and only got a response right away back from one question. If you would please help me, it would be GREATLY appreciated. I'll re-send my other three questions.
In my homework, I'm being asked to simplify the following question
n^3-4n^2+3n-12 over (or divided by) n^2-8n+16

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
simplify the following question
(n^3-4n^2+3n-12) / (n^2-8n+16)
You can see the denominator factors as (n-4)^2
so use synthetic division to divide the numerator by n-4.
You will get the follow:
=[(n-4)(n^2+3)]/[(n-4)^2]

=[n^2+3]/[n-4]
