Factor 1/4 out of -1/2x - 5/4y

¼(-2x-5y)

Step-by-step explanation:

if the common factor is ¼ then it is necessary to find a number Z than when multiplied by ¼ gives -1/2x and another number W than when multiplied by ¼ gives -5/4y, so:

and

so the factor will be ¼(-2x-5y)

be more specific

step-by-step explanation:

(x3 + 6x2 + 2x - 6) • (x - 1)

step-by-step explanation:

polynomial long division :

3.2     polynomial long division

dividing :   x4+5x3-4x2-8x+6

                              ("dividend")

by         :     x-1     ("divisor")

dividend     x4   +   5x3   -   4x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * x3     x4   -   x3            

remainder         6x3   -   4x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * 6x2         6x3   -   6x2        

remainder             2x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * 2x1             2x2   -   2x    

remainder               -   6x   +   6

- divisor   * -6x0               -   6x   +   6

remainder                     0

quotient :   x3+6x2+2x-6   remainder:   0
