Question

Divide the following polynomials, then place the answer in the proper location on the grid. Write answer in descending powers of x. (12x3 - 11x2 + 22x - 5) (4x -1)

Answer 1

3x^2 - 2x + 5

Answer 2

Let's rewrite the expression correctly:
(12x3 - 11x2 + 22x - 5) / (4x -1)
Dividing the expression between (4x -1) we have:
3x2 - 2x + 5
We can check the result:
(3x2 - 2x + 5) * (4x-1)
= 12x3 - 8x2 + 20x - 3x2 + 2x - 5
= 12x3 - 11x2 + 22x - 5
Division OK.
Answer:
The result of the division is:
3x2 - 2x + 5
