Divide Using Long Polynomial Division Use the long division method to find the result when 6x^3+25x^2+20x+4 is divided by 3x+2

Use the long division method to find the result when $6 x^{3} + 25 x^{2} + 20 x + 4$ is divided by $3 x + 2$

Step 1

Write the problem as a mathematical expression.

Use the long division method to find the result when $\frac{6 x^{3} + 25 x^{2} + 20 x + 4}{3 x + 2}$

Step 2

Set up the polynomials to be divided. If there is not a term for every exponent, insert one with a value of $0$ .

$3 x$

$2$

$6 x^{3}$

$25 x^{2}$

$20 x$

$4$

Step 3

Divide the highest order term in the dividend $6 x^{3}$ by the highest order term in divisor $3 x$ .

					$2 x^{2}$
	$3 x$	+	$2$		$6 x^{3}$	+	$25 x^{2}$	+	$20 x$	+	$4$

Step 4

Multiply the new quotient term by the divisor.

				$2 x^{2}$
$3 x$	+	$2$		$6 x^{3}$	+	$25 x^{2}$	+	$20 x$	+	$4$
			+	$6 x^{3}$	+	$4 x^{2}$

Step 5

The expression needs to be subtracted from the dividend, so change all the signs in $6 x^{3} + 4 x^{2}$

				$2 x^{2}$
$3 x$	+	$2$		$6 x^{3}$	+	$25 x^{2}$	+	$20 x$	+	$4$
			-	$6 x^{3}$	-	$4 x^{2}$

Step 6

After changing the signs, add the last dividend from the multiplied polynomial to find the new dividend.

				$2 x^{2}$
$3 x$	+	$2$		$6 x^{3}$	+	$25 x^{2}$	+	$20 x$	+	$4$
			-	$6 x^{3}$	-	$4 x^{2}$
					+	$21 x^{2}$

Step 7

Pull the next terms from the original dividend down into the current dividend.

				$2 x^{2}$
$3 x$	+	$2$		$6 x^{3}$	+	$25 x^{2}$	+	$20 x$	+	$4$
			-	$6 x^{3}$	-	$4 x^{2}$
					+	$21 x^{2}$	+	$20 x$

Step 8

Divide the highest order term in the dividend $21 x^{2}$ by the highest order term in divisor $3 x$ .

				$2 x^{2}$	+	$7 x$
$3 x$	+	$2$		$6 x^{3}$	+	$25 x^{2}$	+	$20 x$	+	$4$
			-	$6 x^{3}$	-	$4 x^{2}$
					+	$21 x^{2}$	+	$20 x$

Step 9

Multiply the new quotient term by the divisor.

				$2 x^{2}$	+	$7 x$
$3 x$	+	$2$		$6 x^{3}$	+	$25 x^{2}$	+	$20 x$	+	$4$
			-	$6 x^{3}$	-	$4 x^{2}$
					+	$21 x^{2}$	+	$20 x$
					+	$21 x^{2}$	+	$14 x$

Step 10

The expression needs to be subtracted from the dividend, so change all the signs in $21 x^{2} + 14 x$

				$2 x^{2}$	+	$7 x$
$3 x$	+	$2$		$6 x^{3}$	+	$25 x^{2}$	+	$20 x$	+	$4$
			-	$6 x^{3}$	-	$4 x^{2}$
					+	$21 x^{2}$	+	$20 x$
					-	$21 x^{2}$	-	$14 x$

Step 11

After changing the signs, add the last dividend from the multiplied polynomial to find the new dividend.

				$2 x^{2}$	+	$7 x$
$3 x$	+	$2$		$6 x^{3}$	+	$25 x^{2}$	+	$20 x$	+	$4$
			-	$6 x^{3}$	-	$4 x^{2}$
					+	$21 x^{2}$	+	$20 x$
					-	$21 x^{2}$	-	$14 x$
							+	$6 x$

Step 12

Pull the next terms from the original dividend down into the current dividend.

				$2 x^{2}$	+	$7 x$
$3 x$	+	$2$		$6 x^{3}$	+	$25 x^{2}$	+	$20 x$	+	$4$
			-	$6 x^{3}$	-	$4 x^{2}$
					+	$21 x^{2}$	+	$20 x$
					-	$21 x^{2}$	-	$14 x$
							+	$6 x$	+	$4$

Step 13

Divide the highest order term in the dividend $6 x$ by the highest order term in divisor $3 x$ .

				$2 x^{2}$	+	$7 x$	+	$2$
$3 x$	+	$2$		$6 x^{3}$	+	$25 x^{2}$	+	$20 x$	+	$4$
			-	$6 x^{3}$	-	$4 x^{2}$
					+	$21 x^{2}$	+	$20 x$
					-	$21 x^{2}$	-	$14 x$
							+	$6 x$	+	$4$

Step 14

Multiply the new quotient term by the divisor.

				$2 x^{2}$	+	$7 x$	+	$2$
$3 x$	+	$2$		$6 x^{3}$	+	$25 x^{2}$	+	$20 x$	+	$4$
			-	$6 x^{3}$	-	$4 x^{2}$
					+	$21 x^{2}$	+	$20 x$
					-	$21 x^{2}$	-	$14 x$
							+	$6 x$	+	$4$
							+	$6 x$	+	$4$

Step 15

The expression needs to be subtracted from the dividend, so change all the signs in $6 x + 4$

				$2 x^{2}$	+	$7 x$	+	$2$
$3 x$	+	$2$		$6 x^{3}$	+	$25 x^{2}$	+	$20 x$	+	$4$
			-	$6 x^{3}$	-	$4 x^{2}$
					+	$21 x^{2}$	+	$20 x$
					-	$21 x^{2}$	-	$14 x$
							+	$6 x$	+	$4$
							-	$6 x$	-	$4$

Step 16

After changing the signs, add the last dividend from the multiplied polynomial to find the new dividend.

				$2 x^{2}$	+	$7 x$	+	$2$
$3 x$	+	$2$		$6 x^{3}$	+	$25 x^{2}$	+	$20 x$	+	$4$
			-	$6 x^{3}$	-	$4 x^{2}$
					+	$21 x^{2}$	+	$20 x$
					-	$21 x^{2}$	-	$14 x$
							+	$6 x$	+	$4$
							-	$6 x$	-	$4$
										$0$

Step 17

Since the remander is $0$ , the final answer is the quotient.

$2 x^{2} + 7 x + 2$
