Question 231222
{{{(2x^3 + 6x-4) / (x+4)}}}
Probably the easiest way to divide is synthetic division. Synthetic division is set up to divide by (x-a) so we need to picture the denominator as: (x-(-4)):
<pre>
-4 |   2    0    6    -4
----       -8   32  -152             
      ------------------
       2   -8   38  -156
</pre>
So
{{{(2x^3 + 6x-4) / (x+4) = 2x^2 -8x + 38 + (-156)/(x+4)}}}
