Dividing a polynomial by an integer or an expression is really just another way of simplifying. There isn’t actually anything new to learn: you just need to be able to simplify numbers (like 20/15 simplifies down to 4/3) and know how to divide with indices (when you divide with indices, you subtract the powers. So x^7 / x^3 = x^4). To divide a polynomial by a number (or integer), there are 3 simple steps to follow: (1) Rewrite the question as a fraction. (2) Split the problem into pieces by writing each term over the denominator. (3) Finish by simplifying each term. EXAMPLE: (8a + 10b - 14) / 2. (1) Rewrite as a fraction (8a + 10b - 14) / 2 (2) Split it up 8a/2 + 10b/2 - 14/2. (3) 8a divided by 2 is 4a. 10b divided by 2 is 5b. And 14 divided by 2 is 7. ANSWER: 4a + 5b - 7. Simple!! We follow the same 3 simple steps for dividing by monomials too (remember that a monomial is an expression with just one variable in).

Nitrogen makes up 78% of the air, however neither plants nor animals can take nitrogen directly from the air because nitrogen is so unreactive. The nitrogen cycles shows the movement of nitrogen through the environment. Nitrogen is continually cycled through the air, soil and living things. Plant
At about 3.5 billion years old, bacteria are one of the oldest living organisms on earth. They are responsible for a range of diseases including cholera, tuberculosis and the plague amongst many others. But they aren’t all bad; there are trillions of good bacteria living in your gut that are essen
