1. confuzing polynomials

1. Divide 6 – x into x2 + 4x – 16.

2. Divide 2x – 1 into 4x4 – 5x2 + 2x + 4.

$2x^3+x^2-2x+\frac{4}{2x-1}$

4. thanks alot

one other thing, can you simplify this for me
(x^3 + x^2 + 6x) - (2^3 + 2^2 + 6(2))

Did you leave some variables out, or was that the way the problem was written?

$(x^3+x^2+6x)-(2^3+2^2+6(2))$

$x^3+x^2+6x-8-4-12$

$x^3+x^2+6x-24$

thanks yeah that was the way it was written.
one last thing youve been great help.

A company estimates that it costs 0.03x2 + 4x + 1000 dollars to produce x units of a product. Find an expression for the average cost per unit.

I think i need to divide something to get the RATE

Increase your font size when you post. I'm gettin old and can't see as well as I used to.

To find the average cost per unit, divide total dollars by number of units.

Average cost per unit = $\frac{0.03x^2+4x+1000}{x}$

8. thanks

thanks, is that in its simplest form?

It would be for me. However, you could write the quotient like this:

Average cost per unit = $0.03x+4 +\frac{1000}{x}$
