Question

algebra 2: unit 3a properties and operations of polynomials
3a.5 - 3a.6

  1. divide the following: $(6x^4 + 4x^3 + 7x^2 - 10) \div (x + 3)$
  1. divide the following with long division: $(x^4 + 5x^3 - 4x^2 + x - 10) \div (x^2 + 2)$
  1. given $f(x) = 3x^2 + 5x - 12$ and $g(x) = x - 4$. find $f(x) - g(x)$
  1. divide the following: $(7x^4 + 3x^3 + 4x^2 - 13) \div (x + 7)$
  1. divide the following with long division: $(x^4 + 9x^3 - 2x^2 + x - 11) \div (x^2 + 3)$

Explanation:

Problem 18 (assuming typo, let's take \( (6x^4 + 4x^3 + 7x^2 - 10) \div (x + 3) \))

Step 1: Set up polynomial long division

Divide the leading term of the dividend \( 6x^4 \) by the leading term of the divisor \( x \), we get \( 6x^3 \). Multiply the divisor \( (x + 3) \) by \( 6x^3 \): \( 6x^3(x + 3)=6x^4 + 18x^3 \). Subtract this from the dividend:
\( (6x^4 + 4x^3 + 7x^2 - 10)-(6x^4 + 18x^3)= -14x^3 + 7x^2 - 10 \)

Step 2: Continue the division

Divide the leading term \( -14x^3 \) by \( x \), get \( -14x^2 \). Multiply divisor by \( -14x^2 \): \( -14x^2(x + 3)= -14x^3 - 42x^2 \). Subtract:
\( (-14x^3 + 7x^2 - 10)-(-14x^3 - 42x^2)= 49x^2 - 10 \)

Step 3: Next term

Divide \( 49x^2 \) by \( x \), get \( 49x \). Multiply divisor by \( 49x \): \( 49x(x + 3)= 49x^2 + 147x \). Subtract:
\( (49x^2 - 10)-(49x^2 + 147x)= -147x - 10 \)

Step 4: Last term

Divide \( -147x \) by \( x \), get \( -147 \). Multiply divisor by \( -147 \): \( -147(x + 3)= -147x - 441 \). Subtract:
\( (-147x - 10)-(-147x - 441)= 431 \)

Step 1: Divide leading terms

Divide \( x^4 \) by \( x^2 \) to get \( x^2 \). Multiply divisor \( (x^2 + 2) \) by \( x^2 \): \( x^2(x^2 + 2)=x^4 + 2x^2 \). Subtract from dividend:
\( (x^4 + 5x^3 - 4x^2 + x - 10)-(x^4 + 2x^2)= 5x^3 - 6x^2 + x - 10 \)

Step 2: Next division

Divide \( 5x^3 \) by \( x^2 \) to get \( 5x \). Multiply divisor by \( 5x \): \( 5x(x^2 + 2)=5x^3 + 10x \). Subtract:
\( (5x^3 - 6x^2 + x - 10)-(5x^3 + 10x)= -6x^2 - 9x - 10 \)

Step 3: Final division

Divide \( -6x^2 \) by \( x^2 \) to get \( -6 \). Multiply divisor by \( -6 \): \( -6(x^2 + 2)= -6x^2 - 12 \). Subtract:
\( (-6x^2 - 9x - 10)-(-6x^2 - 12)= -9x + 2 \)

Step 1: Substitute the functions

\( f(x) - g(x)=(3x^2 + 5x - 12)-(x - 4) \)

Step 2: Distribute the negative sign

\( 3x^2 + 5x - 12 - x + 4 \)

Step 3: Combine like terms

\( 3x^2 + (5x - x) + (-12 + 4)= 3x^2 + 4x - 8 \)

Answer:

\( 6x^3 - 14x^2 + 49x - 147 + \frac{431}{x + 3} \)

Problem 19: \( (x^4 + 5x^3 - 4x^2 + x - 10) \div (x^2 + 2) \)
