How do you find the quotient of #(a^3+4a^2-18a)diva#? Algebra Rational Equations and Functions Division of Rational Expressions 1 Answer Abhishek K. Dec 24, 2016 #a^2+4a-18# Explanation: Method 1: Here #(a^3+4a^2-18a)÷a# #=(a^3+4a^2-18a)/a# #=a^3/a+(4a^2)/a-(18a)/a rarr# Split the fraction. #=a^(3-1)+4a^2-1-18a^(1-1) rarr#Apply Quotient Law of Indices #=a^2+4a-18# Method 2: #(a^3+4a^2-18a)÷a# #=(a(a^2+4a-18))/a rarr# Take #a# common in dividend #=cancel(a)(a^2+4a-18)/cancel(a) rarr# cancel #a# #=a^2+4a-18# Answer link Related questions What is Division of Rational Expressions?
