Divide Using Long Polynomial Division (14x^3+x^2-30x+13)/(7x-10)


Step 1
Set up the polynomials to be divided. If there is not a term for every exponent, insert one with a value of .
-+-+

Step 2
Divide the highest order term in the dividend by the highest order term in divisor .
-+-+

Step 3
Multiply the new quotient term by the divisor.
-+-+
+-

Step 4
The expression needs to be subtracted from the dividend, so change all the signs in
-+-+
-+

Step 5
After changing the signs, add the last dividend from the multiplied polynomial to find the new dividend.
-+-+
-+
+

Step 6
Pull the next terms from the original dividend down into the current dividend.
-+-+
-+
+-

Step 7
Divide the highest order term in the dividend by the highest order term in divisor .
+
-+-+
-+
+-

Step 8
Multiply the new quotient term by the divisor.
+
-+-+
-+
+-

Step 9
The expression needs to be subtracted from the dividend, so change all the signs in
+
-+-+
-+
+-
-+

Step 10
After changing the signs, add the last dividend from the multiplied polynomial to find the new dividend.
+
-+-+
-+
+-
-+

Step 11
Pull the next term from the original dividend down into the current dividend.
+
-+-+
-+
+-
-+
