How to Solve this problem x-2 divide x3-2x2 plus x-3?

Answer 1

That depends on what the problem is. The expresion alone is not a problem. It's just an expression.

Presumably, what you want to do here is to simplify it. We're given:

(x - 2) / (x3 - 2x2 + x - 3)

Let's start by tring to divide the numerator into the denominator using long division:

x2 + 1 (x - 2) x3 - 2x2 + x - 3 x3 - 2x2 0 + x - 3 x - 2 -1 R Since we get a non-zero remainder, we can see that x - 2 is not a factor of the denominator. And in fact, looking further into it, we will find that the denominator can not be factored, and so this problem can not be simplified.
