Find the Quotient (108m^6+81m^5-324m)/(9m^4)
Step 1
Set up the polynomials to be divided. If there is not a term for every exponent, insert one with a value of .
++++++++-+
Step 2
Divide the highest order term in the dividend by the highest order term in divisor .
++++++++-+
Step 3
Multiply the new quotient term by the divisor.
++++++++-+
+++++
Step 4
The expression needs to be subtracted from the dividend, so change all the signs in
++++++++-+
-----
Step 5
After changing the signs, add the last dividend from the multiplied polynomial to find the new dividend.
