Question

Use long division to find the quotient below.
(2x3 + x2 + 25) /(2x+5)

Answer 1

x^2 -2x +5

Explanation:

x^2 -2x +5

----------------------------------------------------------

2x + 5 / 2x^3 + x^2 + 0x + 25

-(2x^3 + 5x^2)

----------------------------

-4x^2 + 0x

-( -4x^2 - 10x )

-----------------------------------------

10x + 25

-(10x + 25)

---------------------------

0

The desired quotient is x^2 -2x +5
