Question

Divide the following polynomials. Then place the answer in the proper location on the grid. Write the quotient and remainder as a sum in this format: . Do not include parentheses in your answer. (x2 - 4) ÷ (x - 1)

Answer 1

Answer:

x+1 - 3/x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

$x - 2 + \frac{2}{x-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for the quotient, perform long division with the polynomials and write a remainder if necessary.

       _x___-2_______

x - 1 |  x2 + 0x - 4

         x2 - 2x

       _______________

                -2x - 4

                -2x + 2

                _______________

                         -2

So the solution is $x - 2 + \frac{2}{x-1}$
