Divide Using Long Polynomial Division (-4t^4+6t^3+10t^2+69t+45)/(2t^2-6t-5)
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.
-
---++++
+--
-+
Step 6
Pull the next term from the original dividend down into the current dividend.
