Question

Divide the following polynomials, then place the answer in the proper location on the grid. Write answer in descending powers of y. (2y3 + 3y2 - 4y - 5) (y + 1)

Answer 1

Let's rewrite the given expression correctly:
 (2y3 + 3y2 - 4y - 5) / (y + 1)
 Dividing the expression between y + 1 we have:
 2y2 + y - 5
 We can check the result:
 (2y2 + y - 5) * (y + 1)
 = (2y3 + y2 - 5y + 2y2 + y - 5)
 = (2y3 + 3y2 - 4y - 5)
 Division OK.
 Answer:
 The result of the division is:
 2y2 + y - 5
