How do you do long division in algebra two with terms as in the equation 2xsq2 plus 10x plus 12 divided by x plus 3... note that sq is squared?
Lessthantreeyou
2x2+10x+12/(x+3)
We use long division just like we would normally.
Let me give you an example.
ex:
Divide 7 into 23
---------
7 | 234
We say ok, how many times does 7 go into 2?
0 times, it doesn't work. So you put a 0 above the 2.
Now we try 7 into 23. It can go 3 times, so we put a 3 above the 3 (in 234) and subtract 21. (3 *7) and then carry down the 4.
...03
--------
7|234
-..21
--------
...024
how many times will 7 go into 24? 3 again.
...033
-------
7|234
-..21
-------
...024
-....21
--------
.......3
We're left with 3 as the remainder.
Our answer to 234 divided by 7 is 33 remainder of 3, or 33 and 3/7.

This method works similarly with variables.
2x2+10x+12/(x+3)
----------------------
x+3|2x2+10x+12
We'll start the same way. How many times will X go into 2x2
Or, what times X gives 2x2 x * 2x = 2x2
So we write a 2x above the 2x2, just like we wrote the 3 in the example above.
.......2x
----------------------
x+3|2x2+10x+12
Now we multiply x+3 by 2x to figure out what to subtract.
2x(x+3)= 2x2 +6x
Notice we ended up with a 2x2? This is what we wanted to subtract! Something to note, when you do your subtraction, you're subtracting the entire expression 2x2 +6x.
So you can write -2x2 - 6x.
.......2x
----------------------
x+3|2x2+10x+12
......-2x2 - 6x
-----------------
...............4x + 12
Make sure you carry down the next term, the +12. Just like we carried down the 4 in the example above.
Now, how many times will X go into 4x? 4 times. So we write a 4 next to the 2x.
and then multiply 4(x+3). then subtract.
.......2x + 4
----------------------
x+3|2x2+10x+12
......-2x2 - 6x
-----------------
...............4x + 12
..............-4x - 12
---------------------
........................0
In this scenario we get a remainder of 0.
This means that x+3 divides evenly into 2x2+10x+12.
In fact, it can divide into it 2x +4 times.
To check this, multiply (x+3)(2x+4) use FOIL.
(x+3)(2x+4) = 2x2+10x+12 (check)
Side note: If you did get a remainder, like in the 1st example. Let's say the remainder was 1.
You take the remainder, 1 and put it over the divisor x +3.
so your answer would be 2x+4 +(1/x+3)
