What is the quotient of (5x2 - 22x + 8) ÷ (x - 4)?
Solution:
Given, (5x2 - 22x + 8) ÷ (x - 4)
We have to find the quotient.
On factorising 5x2 - 22x + 8,
5x2 - 22x + 8 = 5x2 - 20x - 2x + 8
= 5x(x - 4) - 2(x - 4)
= (5x - 2) (x - 4)
Now, (5x2 - 22x + 8) ÷ (x - 4) = (5x - 2)(x - 4) / (x - 4)
Canceling out common term,
= (5x - 2)
Therefore, the required quotient is (5x - 2).
What is the quotient of (5x2 - 22x + 8) ÷ (x - 4)?
Summary:
The quotient of (5x2 - 22x + 8) ÷ (x - 4) is (5x - 2).
