Q. Divide the polynomials. Your answer should be a polynomial.x−6x2−36=□
Recognize the numerator: Recognize the numerator as a difference of squares.The numerator x2−36 can be factored into (x+6)(x−6) because it is a difference of squares where a2−b2=(a+b)(a−b).
Write the division as a fraction: Write the division as a fraction and factor the numerator. (x2−36)/(x−6)=[(x+6)(x−6)]/(x−6)
Cancel out the common factor: Cancel out the common factor (x−6) from the numerator and the denominator.(x−6)(x+6)(x−6)=x+6
Write down the final answer: Write down the final answer.The result of the division is x+6.
