[Blindmath] Division of Polynomials

[sabra1023]

There is a way to do it. Cited people just keep presenting things visually and can't think outside the box, no pun intended, to find another way to do it. I know someone who knows how to do it, but they haven't shown me yet. I just failed that section when I was in math before.

For example, if the question was 3x^3-5x+2/x+2, you would multiply all the choices by x+2, and if you got 3x^3-5x+2 then that was the correct answer. As far as factoring them goes, though, I just used the quadratic formula, x=(-b±√(b^2-4ac))/2a
> I would take the solutions I got from the Quadratic Formula to generate the factors, a(x-x1)(x-x2). In other words, distribute the a term to the quantity x minus your first solution for your first factor, and your second factor is the quantity x minus the second solution.
