Bytelearn · Accepted Answer

Set up division: Set up the division of the polynomials in long division format. We want to divide (x^2 - 12x + 20) by (x - 10).Divide first term: Divide the first term of the numerator by the first term of the denominator. Divide x^2 by x to get x.Multiply and write: Multiply the divisor (x - 10) by the result from Step 2 (x) and write it under the dividend. x * (x - 10) = x^2 - 10x.Subtract and simplify: Subtract the result from Step 3 from the dividend. (x^2 - 12x + 20) - (x^2 - 10x) = -12x + 20 - (-10x) = -12x + 20 + 10x = -2x + 20.Bring down next term: Bring down the next term of the dividend if there is one. Since we have already brought down all terms, we proceed to the next step.Divide new first term: Divide the new first term of the remaining dividend by the first term of the divisor. Divide -2x by x to get -2.Multiply and write: Multiply the divisor (x - 10) by the result from Step 6 (-2) and write it under the remaining dividend. -2 * (x - 10) = -2x + 20.Subtract and simplify: Subtract the result from Step 7 from the remaining dividend. (-2x + 20) - (-2x + 20) = 0.Check for remainder: Since the remainder is 0, the division is complete, and the quotient is the final answer. The quotient is x - 2.
