Q. Divide the polynomials. Your answer should be a polynomial.x4x3+x2=□
Given Division Problem: We are given the division problem (4x3+x2)/x. To divide a polynomial by a monomial, we divide each term of the polynomial by the monomial.
Step 1: Divide the first term: First, divide the term 4x3 by x. This is done by subtracting the exponents of x in the numerator and the denominator, since x3/x=x3−1=x2. The coefficient remains the same, so we get 4x2.
Step 2: Divide the second term: Next, divide the term x2 by x. Similarly, we subtract the exponents, x2/x=x2−1=x. There is no coefficient other than 1, so the result is simply x.
Step 3: Combine the results: Combine the results of the division of each term to get the final polynomial. The result is 4x2+x.
