Answer:
Part 1)
Part 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Part 1)
We would like to multiply:
Distribute each term from the first group into the second group. So:
Distribute further:
Combine like terms:
Simplify:
Part 2)
We would like to divide:
Using long division.
Please refer to the attached document.
For the first step, x goes into 2x³ 2x² times. Hence, we multiply our divisor by 2x².
Next, x goes into -6x^2 -6x times. Hence, we multiply our divisor by -6x.
Finally, x goes into -7x -7 times. So, we multiply our divisor by -7 and we simplify.
Therefore:
