just divide term by term, using the distributive property:
(4x³ + 10x² + 3a) ÷ 2x²
= 4x³÷2x² + 10x²÷2x² + 3a÷2x²
= 2x + 5 + 3a÷2x²
I am supposed to be learning how to divide polynomials by monomials but im stuck please help. (4x³ + 10x² + 3a) ÷ 2x²

4 x^3/2x^2 = 2x
10 x^2 /2 x^2 = 5
3 a/2x^2 = (3/2) a/x^2
{which is 1.5a x^-2}
now add (distributive property)
2x + 5 + 1.5 a x^-2
10 x^2 /2 x^2 = 5
3 a/2x^2 = (3/2) a/x^2
{which is 1.5a x^-2}
now add (distributive property)
2x + 5 + 1.5 a x^-2
