How do you work out ax +b?
Is the fastest method long division cause that’ll take me like 5 mins![Name: 4D9F070D-0DA7-4D15-9E95-EAEFE5347BB7.jpeg

(ax + b)*(x^2 + 2x - 8) + r(x) = 5x^3 + 8x^2 + ...
fairly trivially matching the cubic and quadratic coeffs
a = 5
b = -2
where r(x) is the linear remainder.

So by inspection A=5 as you just need to divide the dominant term in the numerator by the dominant term in the denominator 
.
B is much tougher to find. I've never been brilliant with long division so I prefer .....
For those who don't like long division
Still takes a while.....

Isnt that basically long division cause you dont know a or b? Sorry this is in italics i cba to change it

8 = 2*a + b

Of course, but I cant see how it would take 5 minutes to match 2 coefficients like that. a is "write down" and b is simply
8 = 2*a + b

once you work out a and b you have to long divide though am i right? To find rx?
especially if its ax^2 or something?

To find the remainder, youd have to subtract (ax+b)(x^2+2x-8) from the original cubic, BUT you only need to do it for the constant and linear term (youve matched the quadratic and cubic terms already). So again, quick.
