Simplify Expression: Simplify the expression by dividing each term in the numerator by the term in the denominator.We have the expression (10x3−5x2−6x)/(2x2). We will divide each term in the numerator by 2x2.
Divide 10x3 by 2x2: Divide the first term 10x3 by 2x2.10x3/2x2=(10/2)⋅(x3/x2)=5x3−2=5x.
Divide −5x2 by 2x2: Divide the second term −5x2 by 2x2.−5x2/2x2=(−5/2)×(x2/x2)=−5/2.
Divide −6x by 2x2: Divide the third term −6x by 2x2.−6x/2x2=(−6/2)⋅(x/x2)=−3/x.
Combine Results: Combine the results from steps 2, 3, and 4 to get the final simplified expression.The simplified expression is 5x−25−x3.
