Click For Summary

To divide the polynomial (-2z^3 - z + z^2 + 1) by (z + 1), polynomial long division is the recommended method. The process involves rearranging the polynomial in standard form, then dividing the leading term of the dividend by the leading term of the divisor. After obtaining the first term of the quotient, multiply the entire divisor by this term and subtract from the original polynomial. Repeat this process until reaching a remainder that is of lower degree than the divisor. Understanding polynomial long division is essential for successfully completing this division.

Are you familiar with the polynomial long division?

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
