Divide Using Long Polynomial Division (x^4-5x^3+7x^2-4x+3)÷(x-3)


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 .
