I want to use polynomial law division to divide this here.
00:05
Now one thing i want to point out is that whenever we have a power missing, because notice it goes from x cubed to x, we need to write that term as well.
00:19
So let me go ahead and scoot all this over a little bit, and i'm going to write in right here plus zero x squared.
00:27
Because if you forget that term, when we have our x squared, things aren't going to line up very nicely.
00:33
So it's just a good idea to write at least zero x squared or at least leave a little space right there.
00:39
So now we can copy the process that we've done before.
00:45
So we ask ourselves, what do we have to multiply x by to get negative 2x cubed? well, that's going to be negative 2x squared.
00:55
Now we're going to multiply negative 2x squared by x plus 3 and subtract it below.
01:01
So it would be negative 2x cubed and then negative 6x squared...
