This link will help with any problems that can NOT be solved!!

This link will show how to work out divding polynomials!

 Dividing polynomials is different though.  Here is how it goes...


To simplify a polynomial simply take the given polynomial and divide the coefficients

     

then you subtract the variable's coefficients.

Practice :

1)x^3-1/x^3-1

2)(x^3+8)/(x+2)

 

Answers will be posted on Tuesday.

Solving Monomials

To multiply:

     step 1: write the expression

     (4 x^3 y^7) (9 x^4 y^12)

  step 2 : add the common exponents together

4*9x^7 y^19

       step 3 : multiply the coefficients together 

   36 x^7 y^19

*If you need to divide monomials then to subtract the common exponents and then divide the coefficients.*

The above expression divided would be (4/9xy^7)

Polynomials

To Multiply:

Re write each polynomial:

16y^4+3x^2-2+5y^4-c3x^2+5x^2+15=?

Combine all like terms:

21y^4+5x^2+13
 This is the answer.
