Question

Which expression shows the first step in dividing 4m-1 by m?

Answer 1

`(4m)/(m)-(1)/(m)`

Explanation:

Dividing a Polynomial by a Monomial

we have

`(4m-1)/(m)`

Step 1

Rewrite the problem and divide EACH term in the polynomial by the monomial.

so

`(4m)/(m)-(1)/(m)`

Step 2

Divide the numbers

`4-(1)/(m)`
