Divide Using Long Polynomial Division (-99x^2+12x^4-81)/(3x+9)
Step 1
Reorder and .
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
++-+-
