<PRE><B>Question 732010</B>
 Please solve and show all work. It would be greatly appreciated if you explained it too. Thanks.
Divide:
4x^2 - 15 / 2x - 5
----
Set it up like a long-division problem
---
Divide the 4x^2 by 2x to get 2x  (that is the 1st term of the quotient)
---
Multiply 2x(2x-5) = 4x^2-10x
----
Subtract that from 4x^2-15 to get: 10x-15
----
Divide that by 2x to get 5 (that is the 2nd term of the quotient
-----------
Multiply 5*(2x-5) = get 10x-25
---
Subtract that from 10x-15 to get: 10 (that is the remainder)

Answer: 
Quotient: 2x+5
Remainder: 10
