8. Use long division to find (2x³ - 7x² + 7x - 2) /(x - 2). Show your work

Answer 1

Hello! :)

Answer:

Solved using long polynomial division:
`2x^(2) -3x + 1`

Solved using polynomial division: (2x-1)(x-1)

Sorry I was in a hurry and didn't type out the whole step-by-step.

Answer 2

2x² - 3x + 1

Explanation:

x - 2 | 2x³ - 7x² + 7x - 2

-- 2x³ - 4x² <== 2x²

- 3x² + 7x - 2

-- - 3x² + 6x <== -3x

x - 2

-- x - 2 <== 1

0 | 2x² - 3x + 1

Thus, the quotient is 2x² - 3x + 1
