In summary, division of s^4/(4s^4+1) is a mathematical operation that involves dividing a polynomial function by another polynomial function. To solve for s, you can use the division algorithm or long division method. It has various real-life applications, such as in engineering, physics, and economics. It can have multiple solutions depending on the degree of the polynomials involved. Common mistakes to avoid when solving this type of division include forgetting to check for extraneous solutions, not simplifying the resulting quotient, and making calculation errors during the long division process. It is important to double-check your work and check for any potential errors before finalizing the solution.

Does it work ?

Exp: (s power of 4) over (4 times s power of 4 plus 1)

s^4
----------
(4S^4)+1

LONG DIVISION :
1/4
_______
4S^4+1√s^4
s^4+1/4
---------
-1/4

The ans: 1/4 -(1/4)/((4s^4)+1)

welcome to pf!

hi xiaoB! welcome to pf! :smile:

(try using the X2 icon just above the Reply box :wink:)

yes, long division always works :wink:

in fact, that is the way we calculate s4/(s4 + 1) ! :smile:
