First, we divide the leading term of the numerator by the leading term of the denominator:8x^3 ÷ 4x^2 = 2x
Next, we multiply the entire denominator by 2x:2x(4x^2 - 2x + 1) = 8x^3 - 4x^2 + 2x
Subtract this result from the numerator:8x^3 + 12x^2 - 6x + 4 - (8x^3 - 4x^2 + 2x) = 16x^2 - 8x + 4
Now, we continue the division process by repeating the steps above with the new result 16x^2 - 8x + 4 as the new numerator.
First, we divide the leading term of the numerator by the leading term of the denominator:x^4 ÷ x = x^3
Next, we multiply the entire denominator by x^3:x^3(x + 2) = x^4 + 2x^3
Subtract this result from the numerator:x^4 + x^2 - 4 + 2x^3 - (x^4 + 2x^3) = x^2 - 4
Now, we continue the division process by repeating the steps above with the new result x^2 - 4 as the new numerator.
First, we divide the leading term of the numerator by the leading term of the denominator:
8x^3 ÷ 4x^2 = 2x
Next, we multiply the entire denominator by 2x:
2x(4x^2 - 2x + 1) = 8x^3 - 4x^2 + 2x
Subtract this result from the numerator:
8x^3 + 12x^2 - 6x + 4 - (8x^3 - 4x^2 + 2x) = 16x^2 - 8x + 4
Now, we continue the division process by repeating the steps above with the new result 16x^2 - 8x + 4 as the new numerator.
(x^4 + x^2 - 4 + 2x^3) ÷ (x + 2)First, we divide the leading term of the numerator by the leading term of the denominator:
x^4 ÷ x = x^3
Next, we multiply the entire denominator by x^3:
x^3(x + 2) = x^4 + 2x^3
Subtract this result from the numerator:
x^4 + x^2 - 4 + 2x^3 - (x^4 + 2x^3) = x^2 - 4
Now, we continue the division process by repeating the steps above with the new result x^2 - 4 as the new numerator.
