Step-by-step explanation:
Count the number of times you have to move the decimal point to the right until it is to the right of the 1st nonzero number.
a) You have to move the decimal point 11 times until it gets to the right of the 1st nonzero number, which is 7. You then rewrite this number as
The exponent of 10 is a negative number because you moved the decimal point to the right.
b) Similarly, you have to move the point 9 times to the right so the answer is
Answer:
2x² + 3x + 4 + (17x + 9) / (x² − 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Start by setting up the division. Make sure to write all the coefficients, even the zero ones.
x² + 0x − 4 | 2x⁴ + 3x³ − 4x² + 5x − 7
Start by dividing the first term of the dividend (2x⁴) by the first term of the divisor (x²). That's 2x²; it'll be the first term in quotient. Multiply the divisor by 2x²:
2x⁴ + 0x³ − 8x²
Subtract that from the first three terms of the dividend:
3x³ + 4x²
Drop down the next term from the dividend, and start the process all over again.
3x³ + 4x² + 5x
When you finish, the quotient will be 2x² + 3x + 4, and the remainder will be 17x + 9.
