Question

Divide (x^2 - 5x - 6) by (x -6) with long division show steps please!!

Answer 1

Answer:

  see below. Quotient is (x +1).

Step-by-step explanation:

The general process is identical to numerical long division. You find a quotient term, multiply that by the divisor and subtract the result from the dividend to make a new dividend.

For polynomial long division, the quotient term is the ratio of the highest-degree terms of the dividend and divisor, so is easy to calculate without the guesswork involved in numerical long division.
