Divide Using Long Polynomial Division (8x^4+12x^3-2x)/(2x^2+x)


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 term from the original dividend down into the current dividend.
++++-+
