We are asked to do the following division of polynomials:
To do this we will rearrange the terms in the following form:
Now, we need to find a term that when multiplied by "x" and subtracted from the dividend we can cancel out the x cubed, that term is x squared, therefore, we get:
Now we add like terms and we get:
Now, we need to find a term that we can use to cancel out the x^2y. That term is "xy". Using the same procedure as before we get:
Now, we multiply by a term that cancels out the "y" cubed. That term is y^2. Using the same procedure we get:
Therefore, we have that the quotient is:
