(5x^3-8x^2+9x+12)/(x-3)

please answer with sentences on how to do it step by step. thanks!

5x^2 + 7x + 30 + 102/x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

x-3| 5x^3 - 8x^2 + 9x + 12      

First you would want to set it up as either long polynomial division or using synthetic division. Whichever one is easier for you. However, I am going to use long polynomial division since you might not be familiar with synthetic division just yet.

    _5x^2

x-3|  5x^3 - 8x^2 + 9x + 12        Because 5x^3 divided by x gives you 5x^2

     - (5x^3 - 15x^2)       and -3 times 5x^2 gives you -15x^2

              0 + 7x^2 +9x               But since the negative is outside the   parentheses then you distribute it turning he -15x^2 it into +15x then adding it to the -8x^2 above it thus giving you 7x^2. Afterwards bring down the 9x.

A negative times a negative is a positive (just as a reminder)

Next,

    _5x^2+7x

x-3| 5x^3 - 8x^2 + 9x + 12

   - (5x^3 - 15x^2)                    7x^2 divided by x gives you 7x

            0 + 7x^2 + 9x

               - (7x^2 - 21x)___                  and 7x times -3 gives you -21x

                       0 + 30x +12                  you distribute the negative in the parentheses again.  

Then,

     _5x^2   +7x  +30

x-3| 5x^3 - 8x^2 + 9x + 12

   - (5x^3 - 15x^2)

            0 + 7x^2 + 9x

              - (7x^2 - 21x)___

                       0 + 30x + 12                30x divided by x gives you 30.

                          - (30x - 90)                Distribute the negative again.

                                0  + 102                102 is the remainder.  

When writing remainders in long polynomial equations, it is expressed by writing the remainder over the divisor. Which is 102/x-3.

So the answer is 5x^2 + 7x + 30 + 102/x-3.      

well what you have to do is divide 84 by 6 so theanswer

step-by-step explanation:

84 divided by 6 = 14

and that lightbulb changing party must be freaking lit!

you didn't post any answer choices, so its not 100% clear what your teacher is looking for

however, log(15/7) is equivalent to log(15) - log(7)

i'm using the rule log(x/y) = log(x) - log(y)
