Question

Divide:

(5) (12b⁴ – 7b²) ÷ 3b²

Answer 1

(12b⁴ – 7b² ) ÷ 3b² can be shown as:

$$\begin{gathered} 4b^2-\frac{7}{3} \\ 3b^2\overline{)12b^4-7b^2} \\ \underline{-12b^4} \\ 0-7b^2 \\ -7b^2 \\ \underline{+} \\ \underline{0} \end{gathered}$$

So, the quotient of the division is $4b^2-\frac{7}{3}$ and the remainder is 0
