Divide (6c^4-12c^2+18c+19)/(6c+6)
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.
++-++
