(6a^3+11a^2-4a-9)÷(3a-2)

 

Please help with quotient and remainder!!

I brute forced the problem. 6a33a=2a2... and so on, until I found the quotient, which is the trinomial: 2a2+5a+2.

 

When you multiply this by 3a2, you get: 6a3+11a24a4. The remainder to this problem is 5

 

(I'll explain it more in-depth in 45 min once I get home.)

(6a3+11a24a9)(3a2)

 

I thought about this problem as factoring. 

 

At the end, it will be (3a2)(xa2+ya+z)+r

 

In this equation, xy, and z are coeficents, and r is the remainder.

 

We know that x must equal 2, because 2a2(3a2)=6a34a2

 

We know that y equals 5, because (note we already have a -4 so it will add to 11): 5a(3a2)=15a210a

 

We know that z must equal 2, because(Note: we already have a -10, so it will add to -4): 2(3a2)=6a4.

 

When we add everything, we have: 6a3+11a24a4. This means that the remainder is 5, and the quotient is 2a25a+2
