Divide Using Long Polynomial Division Use the long division method to find the result when 6x^3+9x^2-17x-5 is divided by 2x+5

Use the long division method to find the result when $6 x^{3} + 9 x^{2} - 17 x - 5$ is divided by $2 x + 5$

Step 1

Write the problem as a mathematical expression.

Use the long division method to find the result when $\frac{6 x^{3} + 9 x^{2} - 17 x - 5}{2 x + 5}$

Step 2

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

$2 x$

$5$

$6 x^{3}$

$9 x^{2}$

$17 x$

$5$

Step 3

Divide the highest order term in the dividend $6 x^{3}$ by the highest order term in divisor $2 x$ .

					$3 x^{2}$
	$2 x$	+	$5$		$6 x^{3}$	+	$9 x^{2}$	-	$17 x$	-	$5$

Step 4

Multiply the new quotient term by the divisor.

				$3 x^{2}$
$2 x$	+	$5$		$6 x^{3}$	+	$9 x^{2}$	-	$17 x$	-	$5$
			+	$6 x^{3}$	+	$15 x^{2}$

Step 5

The expression needs to be subtracted from the dividend, so change all the signs in $6 x^{3} + 15 x^{2}$

				$3 x^{2}$
$2 x$	+	$5$		$6 x^{3}$	+	$9 x^{2}$	-	$17 x$	-	$5$
			-	$6 x^{3}$	-	$15 x^{2}$

Step 6

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

				$3 x^{2}$
$2 x$	+	$5$		$6 x^{3}$	+	$9 x^{2}$	-	$17 x$	-	$5$
			-	$6 x^{3}$	-	$15 x^{2}$
					-	$6 x^{2}$

Step 7

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

				$3 x^{2}$
$2 x$	+	$5$		$6 x^{3}$	+	$9 x^{2}$	-	$17 x$	-	$5$
			-	$6 x^{3}$	-	$15 x^{2}$
					-	$6 x^{2}$	-	$17 x$

Step 8

Divide the highest order term in the dividend $- 6 x^{2}$ by the highest order term in divisor $2 x$ .

				$3 x^{2}$	-	$3 x$
$2 x$	+	$5$		$6 x^{3}$	+	$9 x^{2}$	-	$17 x$	-	$5$
			-	$6 x^{3}$	-	$15 x^{2}$
					-	$6 x^{2}$	-	$17 x$

Step 9

Multiply the new quotient term by the divisor.

				$3 x^{2}$	-	$3 x$
$2 x$	+	$5$		$6 x^{3}$	+	$9 x^{2}$	-	$17 x$	-	$5$
			-	$6 x^{3}$	-	$15 x^{2}$
					-	$6 x^{2}$	-	$17 x$
					-	$6 x^{2}$	-	$15 x$

Step 10

The expression needs to be subtracted from the dividend, so change all the signs in $- 6 x^{2} - 15 x$

				$3 x^{2}$	-	$3 x$
$2 x$	+	$5$		$6 x^{3}$	+	$9 x^{2}$	-	$17 x$	-	$5$
			-	$6 x^{3}$	-	$15 x^{2}$
					-	$6 x^{2}$	-	$17 x$
					+	$6 x^{2}$	+	$15 x$

Step 11

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

				$3 x^{2}$	-	$3 x$
$2 x$	+	$5$		$6 x^{3}$	+	$9 x^{2}$	-	$17 x$	-	$5$
			-	$6 x^{3}$	-	$15 x^{2}$
					-	$6 x^{2}$	-	$17 x$
					+	$6 x^{2}$	+	$15 x$
							-	$2 x$

Step 12

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

				$3 x^{2}$	-	$3 x$
$2 x$	+	$5$		$6 x^{3}$	+	$9 x^{2}$	-	$17 x$	-	$5$
			-	$6 x^{3}$	-	$15 x^{2}$
					-	$6 x^{2}$	-	$17 x$
					+	$6 x^{2}$	+	$15 x$
							-	$2 x$	-	$5$

Step 13

Divide the highest order term in the dividend $- 2 x$ by the highest order term in divisor $2 x$ .

				$3 x^{2}$	-	$3 x$	-	$1$
$2 x$	+	$5$		$6 x^{3}$	+	$9 x^{2}$	-	$17 x$	-	$5$
			-	$6 x^{3}$	-	$15 x^{2}$
					-	$6 x^{2}$	-	$17 x$
					+	$6 x^{2}$	+	$15 x$
							-	$2 x$	-	$5$

Step 14

Multiply the new quotient term by the divisor.

				$3 x^{2}$	-	$3 x$	-	$1$
$2 x$	+	$5$		$6 x^{3}$	+	$9 x^{2}$	-	$17 x$	-	$5$
			-	$6 x^{3}$	-	$15 x^{2}$
					-	$6 x^{2}$	-	$17 x$
					+	$6 x^{2}$	+	$15 x$
							-	$2 x$	-	$5$
							-	$2 x$	-	$5$

Step 15

The expression needs to be subtracted from the dividend, so change all the signs in $- 2 x - 5$

				$3 x^{2}$	-	$3 x$	-	$1$
$2 x$	+	$5$		$6 x^{3}$	+	$9 x^{2}$	-	$17 x$	-	$5$
			-	$6 x^{3}$	-	$15 x^{2}$
					-	$6 x^{2}$	-	$17 x$
					+	$6 x^{2}$	+	$15 x$
							-	$2 x$	-	$5$
							+	$2 x$	+	$5$

Step 16

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

				$3 x^{2}$	-	$3 x$	-	$1$
$2 x$	+	$5$		$6 x^{3}$	+	$9 x^{2}$	-	$17 x$	-	$5$
			-	$6 x^{3}$	-	$15 x^{2}$
					-	$6 x^{2}$	-	$17 x$
					+	$6 x^{2}$	+	$15 x$
							-	$2 x$	-	$5$
							+	$2 x$	+	$5$
										$0$

Step 17

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

$3 x^{2} - 3 x - 1$
