Question

If f(x) = x4 − x3 + x2 and g(x) = −x2, where x ≠ 0, what is (f ⁄g)(x)?

Answer 1

Answer:

-x² + x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

(f/g)(x) means that you have to divide f(x) by g(x).

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

When dividing exponents with the same base, you have to subtract the exponents to find the quotient.

When dividing with negatives, you have to switch the sign of the other number.
