5u^3-7u^2+13

Question

is divided by (u/2)+1

Answer 1

Rewrite the expression in long division form .

 

Because there is no x-term in the dividend, need to line up the subtraction by using zero coefficients (or leaving spaces) for the missing terms.

Divide the first term of the dividend by the first term of the divisor .

 

So,the first term of the quotient is .Multiply by and subtract.

Divide the first term of the last row by first term of the divisor .

 

So,the second term of the quotient is . Multiply by and add.

Divide the first term of the last row by first term of the divisor .

 

So,the third term of the quotient is 68. Multiply by 68 and subtract.

 

The remainder is the last entry in the last row.There fore, .

The number along the bottom row are the coefficients of the quotient.

The result of the division is .

 

The result of the division is .
