Question

Divide the following polynomials, then place the answer in the proper location on the grid. Write answer in descending powers of x. (27x 4 - 18x 3 + 9x 2) ÷ 3x

Answer 1

9x3 - 6x2 + 3x

Explanation:

(27x 4 - 18x 3 + 9x 2) ÷ 3x

Dividing each term between 3x we have:

9x3 - 6x2 + 3x

We can check the result:

(9x3 - 6x2 + 3x) * (3x)

= (27x4 - 18x3 + 9x2)
