Question

What is the quotient (6x4+15x3+10x2+10x+4) ÷ (3x2 + 2)?

Answer 1

We want to evaluate

`(6x^(4)+15x^(3)+10x^(2)+10x+4)/(3x^2+2)`

Perform long division
2x² + 5x + 2
----------------------------------------
3x²+2 | 6x⁴ + 15x³ + 10x² + 10x + 4
6x⁴ + 4x²
----------------------------------------
15x³ + 6x² + 10x + 4
15x³ + 10x
---------------------------------------
6x² + 4
6x² + 4

Answer: 2x² + 5x + 2
