Synthetic division or long division? Also wait 15m to ping helpers

#

Nvm im blind

pearl gale
#

long division

spiral heath
#

Do you have any idea how to start?

pearl gale
#

im pretty sure

#

im a couple steps in and dont know what to do

spiral heath
#

Alright can you send a pic of your work so far

pearl gale
#

yea 1 sec

fathom tree
#

n^3+5n^2+10n+6

    n+1
#

@pearl gale

#

so basically

#

what you want to start with

pearl gale
#

my teacher wants me to like do it the long way where i go over everything

#

im sending it rn

#

Thatโ€™s what I have so far, Iโ€™m not sure if itโ€™s right

#

Sorry for the bad handwriting

spiral heath
#

Yeah that is good, make sure to write the n^2 you multiplied (n+1) with at the top of the division bar

pearl gale
#

above the 5n^2?

spiral heath
#

Yea

pearl gale
#

i think i do 4n^2 over n^2 now

#

is that right or am i trippin

spiral heath
#

I think there might be a slight error but continue with the idea it seems to be mostly correct

pearl gale
#

slight error ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ

It will be easily fixable, try doing what you are thinking and you may see what the issue is

pearl gale
rough coral
#

do you want to know the next step or do you want do do it on ur own?

pearl gale
#

I think i know how to do it but like i dont know how to divide 4n^2 / n^2

#

i dont remember how to divide with exponents

rough coral
#

oh ๐Ÿ’€

pearl gale
rough coral
#

ok so 4n^2/n^2 would be 4

pearl gale
#

do you like subtract the exponent?

rough coral
#

i mean that is an exponent rule

pearl gale
#

WAIT IT CLICKED

#

i got it in the bag now

rough coral
#

ight

pearl gale
#

just wait ill send the finished thing in about 2 minutes or les

#

s

rough coral
#

ok, u got this!

pearl gale
#

i have terrible news

#

my answer doesnt match any of the multiple choice answers

rough coral
#

oh

pearl gale
#

answer b is pretty close to mine tho

rough coral
#

yea it is

#

but what you want to do

pearl gale
#

is guess (jk)

rough coral
#

is you have the first step right, n^2

#

then u got 4n^2+10n +6

pearl gale
#

yup

rough coral
#

so basically you want to get rid of the 4n^2

#

so you would put 4n

#

then you would get

#

6n + 6

#

then you put

#

6

#

then u subtraact and the remainder is 0

#

so the aanswer is B

#

i hope that made sense๐Ÿ’€

pearl gale
#

im actually very confuzzled

pearl gale
rough coral
#

yes

#

like putting n^2 at the top of the eq

rough coral
#

what has befuddled you?

rough coral
#

when you put 4n at the top

#

because you want to get rid of 4n^2

#

you subtract 4n^2 + 4n from 4n^2 + 10n

rough coral
rough coral
#

then brring the 6 down

#

and you get 6n+6

pearl gale
#

im so bad at math

rough coral
pearl gale
#

i thought i put n^2 up there

#

ohh after

rough coral
#

ye

pearl gale
#

@rough coral WHERE ARE YOU GETTING 4N FROMMM

rough coral
#

๐Ÿ’€

#

you get 4n because you dont want the 4n^2

pearl gale
#

im bout to rage quit from math

rough coral
#

so you have to get rid of it

pearl gale
#

HOW ARE YOU GETTING RID OF IT

rough coral
pearl gale
#

WHERE IS THE 4N COMING FROM

rough coral
pearl gale
#

RAHHHHHHHHHH

rough coral
#

#

i cant

rough coral
#

i dont have a mic ๐Ÿ’€

pearl gale
rough coral
#

im on like a prehistooric commputer

pearl gale
rough coral
#

but basically you get 4n because 4n * n = 4n^2

pearl gale
#

okay i know that i already have the answer but like i need to show work

rough coral
#

then show the subtrction steps

#

ight then i gtg

pearl gale
#

NOOOO

im sooo close

rough coral

i gtg like asap

pearl gale
#
