Question

What is the quotient (125 – 8x3) ÷ (25 + 10x + 4x2)?

Answer 1

Your answer is:
(125 - 8x^3) / (25 + 10x + 4x^2) = - ((2x - 5) * (4x^2 + 10x + 25)) / (4x^2 + 10x + 25) = - (2x - 5) = - 2x + 5

The correct result would be - 2x + 5.

Answer 2

`-2x+5`

Explanation:

The given equation is:

`(125-8x^3)/(25+10x+4x^2)`

On dividing and simplifying the above equation, we get

=
`(-(2x-5)(4x^2+10x+25))/(4x^2+10x+25)`

Solving the like terms, we get

=
`-(2x-5)`

=
`-2x+5`

which is the required quotient of the given equation.
