for these problems, when they simplify by dividing, the denominator is often a factor of the numerator….
_______________
x-1 ) x^3 + 2x^2 +3x -6
dividing…..
… x^2 + 3x + 6
so, numerator is (x-1)(x^2 + 3x + 6)
divided by (x-1) .
x^2 + 3x +6
#2.
n-3 likely goes into n^3-27…
_________________
n-3 ) n^3 + 0x^2 + 0x -27
… numerator: (n-3)(n^2+3n+9)
