What must be done first to decompose (x³+1)/(x²-1)?
APut x equal to zero
BAssume constant numerators
CDo long division first
DFactor numerator only
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Do long division first
The numerator degree 3 is not below the denominator degree 2, so a polynomial quotient must be removed first.
