Question

Divide the binomial by the monomial. Write the quotient and the remainder.

(2) p² – 6; p

Answer 1

(p² – 6) ÷ p can be shown as:
$$\begin{gathered} p \\ p\overline{)p^2-6} \\ \underline{-p^2} \\ \underline{0-6} \end{gathered}$$

So, the quotient of the division is p and the remainder is –6
