Question

I failed a practice test with this question and im still so confused on how to do it right. I'd appreciate anyone who can help me understand how to solve it!

20x^(3)+30x^(9) Divided by 5x^(3)

Answer 1

To divide the expression 20x^3 + 30x^9 by 5x^3, we divide each term by 5x^3 separately:

(20x^3)/(5x^3) + (30x^9)/(5x^3)

Simplifying the division of each term:

4 + 6x^(9-3)

4 + 6x^6

Therefore, the result of dividing 20x^3 + 30x^9 by 5x^3 is 4 + 6x^6.
