Checkpoint: Long Division to Factor (No Remainders) Solution

Checkpoint: Polynomial Long Division to Factor (No Remainders) Solution

Simplify.

$(99 x^{2} - 17 x - 40) \div (9 x + 5)$

$9 x + 5 11 x - 8 99 x^{2} - 17 x - 40 - (99 x^{2} + 55 x) - 72 x - 40 - (- 72 x - 40) 0$

Note

Remember to subtract ALL terms by changing the signs to their opposite.

Q: How can you check if your quotient (solution) is correct?
A: Find the product of the quotient and the divisor. If the result is the given dividend, the solution is correct.
