Answer:
Here are the steps required for Dividing by a Polynomial Containing More Than One Term (Long Division):
Step 1: Make sure the polynomial is written in descending order. If any terms are missing, use a zero to fill in the missing term (this will help with the spacing).
Step 2: Divide the term with the highest power inside the division symbol by the term with the highest power outside the division symbol.
Step 3: Multiply (or distribute) the answer obtained in the previous step by the polynomial in front of the division symbol.
Step 4: Subtract and bring down the next term.
Step 5: Repeat Steps 2, 3, and 4 until there are no more terms to bring down.
Step 6: Write the final answer. The term remaining after the last subtract step is the remainder and must be written as a fraction in the final answer.
