Question

Help!! Divide the following polynomial by 2x

Answer 1

8x^5 -9x^2 + 6

Explanation:

16x^6 / 2x = 8x^5

-18x^3 / 2x = -9x^2

12x/2x = 6

So

(16x^6 -18x^3 + 12x ) / 2x = 8x^5 -9x^2 + 6

Answer 2

The correct answer is 8x⁵ - 9x² + 6

Explanation:

The given polynomial is p(x)= 16x⁶ - 18x³ +12x

To find the value of division of p(x) by 2x

Dividend = 16x⁶ - 18x³ +12x

Divisor = 2x

(16x⁶ - 18x³ +12x)/2x

8x⁵ - 9x² + 6

2x |16x⁶ - 18x³ +12x

-16x⁶

0 - 18x³

- 18x³

0 + 12x

+12x

0

Therefore the correct answer is 8x⁵ - 9x² + 6
