Use long division to divide. $$\left(6 x^{3}-16 x^{2}+17 x-6\right) \div(3 x-2)$$

Short Answer

Expert verified
The solution to the polynomial division is \(2x^2 - 6x + 3\).

Step by step solution

01

Divide the first terms

To begin with, divide the leading term of the numerator, 6x^3, by the leading term of the denominator, 3x. This will give a quotient of 2x^2.
02

Multiply the entire denominator by the quotient and subtract the result from the original polynomial

Next, multiply the whole divisor (3x - 2) by the quotient obtained in step 1, 2x^2. Then subtract the result from the original polynomial.
03

Drop down the next term

Bring down the next term from the original polynomial (which is +17x after the subtraction in step 2)
04

Repeat from Step 1

Following the repetition, another quotient term is obtained as -6x. Repeat step 2 and 3 then.
05

Repeat till all terms are exhausted

Keep repeating the cycle until all terms from the original polynomial are included. After the cycle is finished, one last quotient term of +3 is obtained.
06

Write out the result

The result of the long division is the sum of the quotient terms obtained - it represents the result of the polynomial division.
