Polynomial
Hi, can someone help me divide this polynomial
x3 + 0x2 - 3x - 2 divided by x - 2
Thanks
x3 + 0x2 - 3x - 2 divided by x - 2
Thanks

Long division.
Yep, i did that but im having trouble being able to work out the difference between 0x2 and -2x2

0-(-2)=2

0-(-2)=2
In the c2 book, it comes out as (x3+0x2) - (x3-2x2)
wouldnt that then be x3+0x2 - x3 +2x2= 3x2
But it comes out as 2x2 in the book

I got 0 - (- 2) after first step,

No because you have which cancels and then for coefficients you have

Why does the book work it out differently? instead of doing 0 - ( -2) it multiplies (x3+0x2) - (x3-2x2) to equal = 2x2, which doesnt seem to ring true
