Dividing Polynomials. Im dumb :(

[speg]

Bah, I can't figure this question out:

(x^5 +3x^3 -10x^2 +3x -7) / (x^2-2 )

I get the answer of : x^3 +5x -10 R: 13x - 27 but Im pretty sure that isn't correct.

 

[speg]

Anyone know what's going on?

 

[yiwonder]

You're right. Why are you pretty sure it isn't correct?

 

[speg]

Oops, In my division statement i had (x^2+2) instead of (x^2-2) . *sigh*

i think its X^3 + 5X - 10 R: 13X-27 Hope it helps
