Hi there, can anyone tell me how to resolve this problem?
(4x^3 - 8x^3 + 7x - 2) : (2x^2 - 3x + 2)
Thnx

Assuming the second term should be 8x2, my answer agrees with yours mathman (I equated the coefficients)mathman said:It looks like there is a typo - the second term in the numerator should have an exponent of 2? Is so, answer looks like 2x-1.
A polynomial problem is a mathematical expression that contains variables, constants, and operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. It is usually written in the form of a sum of terms, each consisting of a coefficient multiplied by one or more variables raised to a non-negative integer power.
To solve a polynomial problem, you need to follow the order of operations (PEMDAS) and use algebraic techniques such as factoring, the quadratic formula, or synthetic division. You may also need to use the rules of exponents and simplify the expression by combining like terms.
The degree of a polynomial problem is the highest exponent or power of the variable in the expression. In the given problem (4x^3 - 8x^3 + 7x - 2), the highest exponent is 3, so the degree of the polynomial is 3.
Yes, polynomial problems can have negative exponents. However, they are not considered to be polynomials because they do not follow the definition of a polynomial, which states that the exponents must be non-negative integers.
The number of solutions for a polynomial problem depends on the degree of the polynomial. A polynomial of degree n can have at most n solutions. In the given problem (4x^3 - 8x^3 + 7x - 2), the degree is 3, so it can have at most 3 solutions.
