2x^2 + 4x - 1 | Divide: 4x^3 + 8x^2 -2x/2x |
4x^3 + 8x^2 - 2x | Multiply: 2x(2x^2 + 4x - 1) |
n + 2 | Divide using long division. n^2 - 4/n - 2 |
x - 7 - 7/4x - 5 | Divide using synthetic division. 4x^2 - 33x + 28/4x - 5 |
6b^2 + b +9 + 3/4b - 7 | Divide using long division and synthetic division: 24b^3 - 38b^2 + 29b - 60/4b-7 |
