(9x^3-18x^2-x+2) / (3x+1)?

Question

Need help ASAP, im so stuck. This is too confusing for me. Need in long division format.

Answer 1

I don't know how well this will turn out using tables instead of hand-writing it, but try this:

 

			3x^2	-7x	+2
3x + 1		9x^3	-18x^2	-x	+2
		-(9x^3	+3x^2)
		0	-21x^2	-x
			-(-21x^2	-7x)
			0	6x	+2
				-(6x	+2)
				0	0

Answer:  (9x^3 - 18x^2 - x + 2) / (3x + 1) = 3x^2 - 7x + 2

Answer 2

Given (9x^3-18x^2-x+2) / (3x+1)
[(x-2)(3x-1)(3x+1)]/(3x+1)
(x-2)(3x-1)
