a: the directions are to divide
6c^3 + 7c^2 - 38c + 24 / 3c - 4
I tried to group it and reduce but I have a feeling that is not right......
How do I start this problem?
b: for this problem it says to multiply and simplify....
w^2 - 3w -54/w^3 - 8w^2 X w/(w + 6)
this one we can factor to be
(w -9)(w + 6)/w^2(w - 8) X w / (w + 6) then I cancelled the (w + 6)'s
but now what? do I have to distribute the other w left on top to get w^2 - 9w/ w^2 (w - 8) and then cancel the w^2's? then I'd be left with
-9w/w - 8
