Divide Using Long Polynomial Division (5x^3-18ix^2+4x+(7-3i))/(x-3i)
Step 1
Remove parentheses.
Step 2
Set up the polynomials to be divided. If there is not a term for every exponent, insert one with a value of .
--++-
Step 3
Divide the highest order term in the dividend by the highest order term in divisor .
--++-
Step 4
Multiply the new quotient term by the divisor.
--++-
+-
Step 5
The expression needs to be subtracted from the dividend, so change all the signs in
--++-
-+
Step 6
After changing the signs, add the last dividend from the multiplied polynomial to find the new dividend.
--++-
-+
-
Step 7
Pull the next terms from the original dividend down into the current dividend.
--++-
-+

Step 8
Divide the highest order term in the dividend by the highest order term in divisor .
