Divide the following polynomial and then place the answer in the proper location on the grid.

Write your answer in order of decreasing powers of x.

(24x 5 + 8x 4 - 16x 3) : 8x 2

Here is how you divide the polynomial given above.

Firstly, divide 24x5 by 8x2 and you get 3x3.

Next, divide 8x4 by 8x2 and you get x2.

Lastly, you divide - 16x3 by 8x2 and you get - 2x.

So the quotient would be this: 3x^3+x^2-2x. Hope this is the answer that you are looking for. Have a great day!
