or approx. timing What am I doing? What are they doing?
5-10mins Divide the polynomials on the board.
Re-write in factorised form.
Divide x 3−3 x−2 by ( x−2)
3 2
4 x −3 x −1 by x−1
5-10mins Divide the following:
( x ¿ ¿ 3+8 x +17 x +16)/( x +5)¿
2

3 2
( x −15 x + 61 x−48)/(x−7)
What does this mean?
