Question

Let f(x) = 16x5 − 48x4 − 8x3 and g(x) = 8x2. Find f of x over g of x.

Answer 1

The correct answer is
2x^3-6x^2-x

Answer 2

It is given in the question that

`f(x) = 16x^5 -48x^4-8x^3 \ and \  g(x) = 8x^2`

And we have to find the value of

`(f(x))/(g(x))`

Substituting the values of two functions, we will get

`=(16x^5 -48x^4 -8x^3)/(8x^2)`

8x^3 is common in the numerator, and on taking it out, we will get

`= (8x^3(2x^2 -6x-1))/(8x^2) = x(2x^2 -6x-1)`

And that's the required answer .
