For this question

(64x^3 + 0x + 8) / (4x +2)

I got 16x^2 -8X + 6

Am I right

2. Anybody?

I just did the calculations and got the answer to be $16x^2 - 8x +4$. I'll post up my method, wait a few minutes.

EDIT: I don't know how to use latex to do long division so I'll show how my answer is correct by opening up the brackets to obtain the original equation. My original method was using long division and divided $64x^3 + 8$ by $4x + 2$.

$(4x + 2)(16x^2 - 8x + 4)$
$= 64 x^3 - 32x^2 + 16x + 32x^2 - 16x + 8$
$= 64x^3 + 8$

I got that too.

Thankyou.

6. Ok I keep getting 16x^2 - 8x + 6

I don't know what the crap I'm doing wrong.

7. Sorry if I haven't explained clear enough.

8. $\frac{{64x^3 + 8}}
{{4x + 2}} = \frac{{8\left( {8x^3 + 1} \right)}}
{{2\left( {2x + 1} \right)}} =$
$\frac{{4\left( {8x^3 + 1} \right)}}
{{\left( {2x + 1} \right)}} = \frac{{4\left( {2x + 1} \right)\left( {4x^2 - 2x + 1} \right)}}
{{\left( {2x + 1} \right)}} = 4\left( {4x^2 - 2x + 1} \right) = 16x^2 - 8x + 4$
