In summary, the process for dividing polynomials with exponents involves dividing the coefficients of each term and subtracting the exponents, and the final answer should have the form of a polynomial with no remaining exponents. The polynomial being divided is the dividend and the polynomial doing the dividing is the divisor. You can divide polynomials with different variables or terms present, but you may need to rearrange terms or use the distributive property. If there is a remainder, it should be written as a fraction over the divisor. Synthetic division can also be used, but the polynomial must be rewritten in descending order and the divisor must be a linear polynomial.

I am glad to hear that you solved your problem, though I
never got to see your original post. It would be great
if you could repost, so that others might learn from it too.
That way you would be contributing to the cumulative
knowledge base of your forum.

I am glad to hear that you were able to solve the problem of dividing polynomials with exponents. I know that solving complex equations can be challenging, but it is always satisfying when we are able to find a solution. Keep up the good work!
Related to Dividing Polynomials With Exponents
1. What is the process for dividing polynomials with exponents?
The process for dividing polynomials with exponents involves dividing the coefficients of each term and subtracting the exponents. If the exponents are the same, the coefficients are simply divided. If the exponents are different, the exponent of the divisor is subtracted from the exponent of the dividend to get the new exponent. The final answer should have the form of a polynomial with no remaining exponents.
2. How do I know which polynomial is the dividend and which is the divisor?
When dividing polynomials with exponents, the polynomial being divided is the dividend and the polynomial doing the dividing is the divisor. It may be helpful to think of the process as similar to long division, where the larger number is the dividend and the smaller number is the divisor.
3. Can I divide polynomials with different variables or terms present?
Yes, you can divide polynomials with different variables or terms present. The process is the same as dividing polynomials with similar terms, but you may need to rearrange the terms or use the distributive property to get the desired form of the final answer.
4. What do I do if there is a remainder when dividing polynomials with exponents?
If there is a remainder when dividing polynomials with exponents, the answer should be written in the form of a polynomial with the remainder written as a fraction over the divisor. This indicates that the division is not exact and there is a remainder left over.
5. Can I use synthetic division to divide polynomials with exponents?
Yes, synthetic division can be used to divide polynomials with exponents. The process is the same, but you may need to rewrite the polynomial in descending order of exponents in order to use synthetic division. Additionally, synthetic division can only be used when the divisor is a linear polynomial.
