Question

(A 3 - 2a 5) - (4a 3 - 5a 2 a - 2) user: when dividing with polynomials one factor becomes the dividend and the other factor becomes the quotient. true false

Answer 1

False

Explanation:

Dividing (or factoring) polynomials simply requires that a particular factor becomes the divisor and the other factor becomes the quotient.

Answer 2

When you divide polynomials and when there is no remainder, both the divisor and the quotient are factors of the polynomial. Therefore, it is FALSE that when dividing with polynomials, one factor becomes the dividend and the other factors become the quotient. It's not the dividend but the divisor.
