Divide Using Long Polynomial Division Use the long division method to find the result when x^3-4x^2-29x-24 is divided by x-8

Use the long division method to find the result when is divided by

Step 1
Write the problem as a mathematical expression.
Use the long division method to find the result when

Step 2
Set up the polynomials to be divided. If there is not a term for every exponent, insert one with a value of .
