PLEASE HELP!!!! DUE TODAY!!!

Bidet used a computer algebra system (CAS) to find the quotient of (4x^3+2x^2+3x+5)^2 and x^2+3x+1. Which statement correctly shows a way to enter this problem into a CAS?

A. Division[4x^3+2x^2+3x+5^2, x^2+3x+1]
B. Division[ (4x^3+2x^2+3x+5)^2] [x^2+3x+1]
C. Division[ (4x^3+2x^2+3x+5)^2, x^2+3x+1]
D. Division[2 (4x^3+2x^2+3x+5), x^2+3x+1]

Answer 1

Answer: Choice C.

Division[ (4x^3+2x^2+3x+5)^2, x^2+3x+1]

=============================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

It honestly depends on the CAS program, but for GeoGebra for instance, the general format would be Division[P, Q]

Where,

• P = numerator = (4x^3+2x^2+3x+5)^2
• Q = denominator = x^2+3x+1

As another example, let's say we want to divide x^2+5x+6 all over x^3+7 as one big fraction

We would type in Division[x^2+5x+6, x^3+7]
