Idk what im doing wrong >.< Am I doing it the wrong way? Should it be 4 | 1 8 22 27 20 41
Idk what i do after i set it up tbh..
Expand the following:
(x^5 - 8 x^4 + 22 x^3 - 27 x^2 + 20 x - 41)/(x - 4)
Express (x^5 - 8 x^4 + 22 x^3 - 27 x^2 + 20 x - 41)/(x - 4) as a sum of fractions.
(x^5 - 8 x^4 + 22 x^3 - 27 x^2 + 20 x - 41)/(x - 4) = (-41)/(x - 4) + (20 x)/(x - 4) - (27 x^2)/(x - 4) + (22 x^3)/(x - 4) - (8 x^4)/(x - 4) + x^5/(x - 4):
(-41)/(x - 4) + (20 x)/(x - 4) - (27 x^2)/(x - 4) + (22 x^3)/(x - 4) - (8 x^4)/(x - 4) + x^5/(x - 4)
= x^4 - 4x^3 + 6x^2 - 3x - 9/(x - 4) + 8
That's not how my teacher wants me to solve it but thanks
This is long division btw (dividing polynomials)
That works too problem is she doesn't give me enough room to write it all down so i guess ill have to write really tiny lol
