long division
Do you have any idea how to start?
Alright can you send a pic of your work so far
yea 1 sec
my teacher wants me to like do it the long way where i go over everything
im sending it rn
Thatโs what I have so far, Iโm not sure if itโs right
Sorry for the bad handwriting
Yeah that is good, make sure to write the n^2 you multiplied (n+1) with at the top of the division bar
above the 5n^2?
Yea
I think there might be a slight error but continue with the idea it seems to be mostly correct
slight error ๐ตโ๐ซ๐ตโ๐ซ
okay ill try
what u have so far is correct
It will be easily fixable, try doing what you are thinking and you may see what the issue is
LETS GOO
do you want to know the next step or do you want do do it on ur own?
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
oh ๐
ok so 4n^2/n^2 would be 4
do you like subtract the exponent?
i mean that is an exponent rule
ight
ok, u got this!
oh
answer b is pretty close to mine tho
is guess (jk)
yup
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 sense๐
im actually very confuzzled
are you talking about the very first step i did?
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
also dont put the 6 down next to 4n^2 + 10n
and you get 6n
then brring the 6 down
and you get 6n+6
like at the top of the division bar where ur answer goes
ye
im bout to rage quit from math
so you have to get rid of it
HOW ARE YOU GETTING RID OF IT
nah it gets rlly fun later trust
WHERE IS THE 4N COMING FROM
by subtractinig 4n^2from 4n^2
RAHHHHHHHHHH
dawg
i dont have a mic ๐
im on like a prehistooric commputer
but basically you get 4n because 4n * n = 4n^2
okay i know that i already have the answer but like i need to show work
so you did 4n * n to get 4n^2 but how did you get 6n
