Question 2

• To set up the problem, change the sign of the constant in the divisor and set it up to divide with all the coefficients of the
problem.

Answer 2

• To set up the problem, change the sign of the constant in the divisor and set it up to divide with all the coefficients of the
problem.

Question 3

• Be sure that the coefficients match terms in descending degree and that you include coefficients of 0 for any exponents that
are missing.
