Question

Divide. Write the quotient and the remainder.

(−48p⁴) ÷ (−9p²)

Answer 1

 (−48p⁴) ÷ (−9p²)

= `(-48p^4)/(-9p_2)`

= `(-(16xx3xxp^2xxp^2))/(-(3xx3xxpxxp))`

= `(-48p^4)/(-9p_2)`

= `(16p^2)/3`

Division = opposite operation of multiplication.

         `(16/3)p^2`
`-9p^2")"overline(-48p^4) `
            - 48p⁴ 
              +      
                 0

∴ quotient = `(16/3)p^2 ` & Remainder = 0
