Divide Using Long Polynomial Division (36a^5b^8c^9+32a^8b^7c^4-12a^9b^3c)/(7a^2b^2c)
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.
