Perform the following division (find the quotient).

(45 x^2 - 9 x^3 - 18 x^4) / (-18 x^3)

Simplify. Write the answer with positive exponents only.

(5 x^5 y^5)\(9 x^3 y**3))/(15 x y^5)(3 x y^9)

    "Given 1)(45 x^2 - 9 x^3 - 18 x^4) / (-18 x^3)

    =>(2x^2+x-5)/2x

    ….....x +1/2

    …...----------------

    ...2x| 2x^2+x-5

    …....2x^2

    …....--------

    …..........x

    …..........x

    ….......------

    ….........-5

    hence the reminder = -5

    and quotient =x+1/2

    2)(5 x^5 y^5)/(9 x^3 y^3))/(15 x y^5)(3 x y^9)

    =>(x^2y^6)/9

    and if the question is

    (5 x^5 y^5)/(9 x^3 y^3))/[(15 x y^5)(3 x y^9)]

    =>1/(81y^12)"

    (45 x^2 - 9 x^3 - 18 x^4) / (-18 x^3)

    Sorry I don't know how to format the string below so that it would look properly in the long division.

    x + 1/2

    |-----------------------------------

    -18x3 | -18x^4 - 9x^3 + 45x^2

    -18x^4 - 0x^3

    ------------------------------------

    - 9x^3 + 45x^2

    - 9x^3 + 0x^2

    ------------------------------------

    45x^2

    (5 x^5 y^5)\(9 x^3 y**3))/(15 x y^5)(3 x y^9) = 1/81y^12
