Question

Ignore the blue and 13. But I don’t understand dividing the polynomials. It says to complete the problem.

Answer 1

OK the next step is to multiply 3r -1 by -7r
this gives us -21r^2 + 7r and we write it below -21r^2 + 25r
and subtract
This gives us 18r and we bring down the -6 to give
18r - 6

Finally we divide 18r by -3r to give -6 then add - 6 to the r^2 - 7r on the top
then multiply -3r - 1 by -6 to give 18r - 6
subtraction then leaves nothing.

so the answer is r^2 - 7r - 6
