Q:

Long division3x+1/6x^6+5x^5+2x^4-9x^3+7x^2-10x+2

Accepted Solution

A:
[tex](6 x^{6}+5x^{5}+2x^{4}-9x^{3}+7x^{2}-10x+2) / (3x+1) [/tex]

We divide first number from first parenthesis with first number from second parenthesis. Then the resulting number we multiply by all numbers in second parenthesis and substract from first parenthesis.

[tex]6 x^{6}/3x = 2 x^{5} \\ \\ 6 x^{6}+5x^{5}+2x^{4}-9x^{3}+7x^{2}-10x+2 - 6 x^{6} -2 x^{5} = 3x^{5}+2x^{4}-9x^{3}+7x^{2}-10x+2\\ [/tex]

We repeat previous steps until we run out of numbers:
[tex]3x^{5}/3x=x^{4} \\ \\ 3x^{5}+2x^{4}-9x^{3}+7x^{2}-10x+2-3x^{5}-x^{4}= \\ \\ x^{4}-9x^{3}+7x^{2}-10x+2 \\ \\ \\ x^{4}/3x= \frac{1}{3} x^{3} \\ \\ x^{4}-9x^{3}+7x^{2}-10x+2-x^{4}- \frac{1}{3} x^{3}= \\ \\ - \frac{28}{3} x^{3}+7x^{2}-10x+2 \\ \\ \\ - \frac{28}{3} x^{3}/3x= - \frac{28}{9} x^{2} \\ \\ - \frac{28}{3} x^{3}+7x^{2}-10x+2+ \frac{28}{3} x^{3}+ \frac{28}{9} x^{2} = \\ \\ \frac{91}{9} x^{2}-10x+2Β Β [/tex]
[tex]\frac{91}{9} x^{2}/3x=\frac{91}{27} x \\ \\ \frac{91}{9} x^{2}-10x+2-\frac{91}{9} x^{2}-\frac{91}{27} x= \\ \\ -\frac{361}{27} x+2 \\ \\ \\ -\frac{361}{27} x/3x=-\frac{361}{81} \\ \\ -\frac{361}{27} x+2+\frac{361}{27}x+\frac{361}{27}= \\ \\ \frac{415}{27}[/tex]

We are left with a number that has no x inside. This is remainder.
The final solution is sum of all these solutions and remainder:
[tex](2 x^{5}+x^{4}+\frac{1}{3} x^{3} - \frac{28}{9} x^{2} +\frac{91}{27} x)+(-\frac{361}{81} )[/tex]
