Question 66630
<pre><font size = 5><b>Divide 7x³ - 3x² - 4x + 5 by 7x - 1 using long division.

It's the same way as usual, only you have to do a
lot of fraction work with this one:


         <u>        x² -  (2/7)x -  (30/49)</u>
   7x - 1)7x³ - 3x² -      4x +        5
          <u>7x³ -  x²</u>
               -2x² -      4x
               <u>-2x² +  (2/7)x</u>
                     (-30/7)x +        5
                     <u>(-30/7)x +  (30/49)</u>
                                (215/49)   

                                 215/49 
Answer: x² - (2/7)x - (30/49) + --------
                                 7x - 1
