Answer:

-5x⁵ +2x² -3/x³

Explanation:

You want the quotient and remainder of (-15x⁸ +6x⁵ -9)/(3x³).

Division

The quotient and remainder can be found by dividing term by term.


(-15x^8+6x^5-9)/(3x^3)=(-15x^8)/(3x^3)+(6x^5)/(3x^3)-(9)/(3x^3)\\\\\\=\boxed{-5x^5+2x^2-(3)/(x^3)}

__

Additional comment

The exponent rule is (a^b)/(a^c) = a^(b-c).
