Find Quotient and the remainder

X^3+216a^3 divides by x+6a

Answers

Answered by Reiny
You could do a long algebraic division, make sure you have

(x^3 + 0x^2 + 0x + 216a^3) ÷ (x + 6a)

or
you could recognize the sum of cubes factoring
x^3 + 216a^3
= x^3 + (6a)^3
= (x+6a)(x^2 - 6ax + 36a^2) , with 0 remainder

expand it to see that I am right
