sundevil777 93 #6 October 25, 2010 Is the problem just to simplify the expression as much as possible? It is an unusual problem that doesn't seem to lend itself to simplifying. Perhaps we've got the expression wrong, What grade level is this math class, that would help to understand if there are some unusual procedures expected to be used.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BeattheDrums 0 #11 October 25, 2010 I got 2x^2 -1/3x + 2/9 with a remainder of 31/9x -5 I haven't had time to triple check but I was able to multiply it back and get the original answer.

BeattheDrums 0 #16 October 26, 2010 Whoops... I just realized that I had done 6x^4 minus 5x^3 instead of plus. This changes the answer a bit. its 2x^2 + 3x + 2 with a remainder of 7x +5 See attached. PM for a bigger copy if this ones unreadable I had to shrink it down. edited to actually add the attachment.
