Question

Divide the following polynomials, then place the answer in the proper location on the grid. Write answer in descending powers of y. (2y3 + 3y2 - 4y - 5) (y + 1)

Answer 1

2y^2 + y - 5

Explanation:

This is the correct answer; hope it helps.

Answer 2

Let's rewrite the given expression correctly:
(2y3 + 3y2 - 4y - 5) / (y + 1)
Dividing the expression between y + 1 we have:
2y2 + y - 5
We can check the result:
(2y2 + y - 5) * (y + 1)
= (2y3 + y2 - 5y + 2y2 + y - 5)
= (2y3 + 3y2 - 4y - 5)
Division OK.
Answer:
The result of the division is:
2y2 + y - 5
