Transcript text: Divide.
\[
\left(9 u^{2} x^{7}-6 u^{5} x^{4}-15 u^{6} x^{7}\right) \div\left(3 u^{5} x^{4}\right)
\]
Simplify your answer as much
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Divide the Leading Terms
Divide the leading term of the dividend \( -15 u^{6} x^{7} \) by the leading term of the divisor \( 3 u^{5} x^{4} \):
\[
\frac{-15 u^{6} x^{7}}{3 u^{5} x^{4}} = -5 u x^{3}
\]
Step 2: Calculate the Remainder
Multiply the entire divisor \( 3 u^{5} x^{4} \) by the result from Step 1, and subtract from the original dividend:
\[
-15 u^{6} x^{7} - (3 u^{5} x^{4})(-5 u x^{3}) = -6 u^{5} x^{4} + 9 u^{2} x^{7}
\]
Step 3: Repeat the Division Process
Now, divide the new leading term \( -6 u^{5} x^{4} \) by the leading term of the divisor \( 3 u^{5} x^{4} \):
\[
\frac{-6 u^{5} x^{4}}{3 u^{5} x^{4}} = -2
\]
Step 4: Calculate the New Remainder
Multiply the entire divisor \( 3 u^{5} x^{4} \) by the result from Step 3, and subtract from the previous remainder:
\[
-6 u^{5} x^{4} - (3 u^{5} x^{4})(-2) = 9 u^{2} x^{7}
\]
Step 5: Compile the Quotient and Remainder
The quotient from the division process is:
\[
-5 u x^{3} - 2
\]
The final remainder is:
\[
9 u^{2} x^{7}
\]
Step 6: Write the Complete Division Expression
The complete division expression can be written as:
\[
\frac{9 u^{2} x^{7} - 6 u^{5} x^{4} - 15 u^{6} x^{7}}{3 u^{5} x^{4}} = -5 u x^{3} - 2 + \frac{9 u^{2} x^{7}}{3 u^{5} x^{4}}
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
-5 u x^{3} - 2 + \frac{3 x^{3}}{u^{3}}
\]
Final Answer
\(\boxed{-5 u x^{3} - 2 + \frac{3 x^{3}}{u^{3}}}\)
