Divide. If the polynomial does not divide evenly, include the remainder as a fraction. (2s^2 - 89) ÷ (s - 7)

Divide. If the polynomial does not divide evenly, include the remainder as a fraction.
(2s^2 - 89) ÷ (s - 7)

Answer

To divide the polynomial 2s^2 - 89 by s - 7, we use polynomial long division:

  1. Divide the first term of the dividend by the first term of the divisor: 2s^2 ÷ s = 2s.
  2. Multiply the entire divisor by this result: 2s(s - 7) = 2s^2 - 14s.
  3. Subtract this from the original polynomial: (2s^2 - 89) - (2s^2 - 14s) = 14s - 89.
  4. Now divide the first term of the new polynomial by the first term of the divisor: 14s ÷ s = 14.
  5. Multiply the entire divisor by this result: 14(s - 7) = 14s - 98.
  6. Subtract this from the current polynomial: (14s - 89) - (14s - 98) = 9.

The quotient is 2s + 14 with a remainder of 9. Therefore, the result of the division is:

2s + 14 + 9/(s - 7)
