How do you divide 4v^3+6v^2-8v-124v3+6v2−8v−12 by 2v-3 and is it a factor of the polynomial?

Explanation:
Using some
color(blue)"algebraic manipulation"algebraic manipulation by substituting the divisor into the numerator as a factor.
(color(red)(2v^2)(2v-3)+(color(blue)(6v^2)+6v^2)-8v-12)/(2v-3)2v2(2v−3)+(6v2+6v2)−8v−122v−3
=(color(red)(2v^2)(2v-3)color(red)(+6v)(2v-3)+(color(blue)(+18v)-8v)-12)/(2v-3)=2v2(2v−3)+6v(2v−3)+(+18v−8v)−122v−3
=(color(red)(2v^2)(2v-3)color(red)(+6v)(2v-3)color(red)(+5)(2v-3)+(color(blue)(+15)-12))/(2v-3)=2v2(2v−3)+6v(2v−3)+5(2v−3)+(+15−12)2v−3
rArr4v^3+6v^2-8v-12=2v^2+6v+5+3/(2v-3)⇒4v3+6v2−8v−12=2v2+6v+5+32v−3 Since the remainder of the division is not zero.
"Then "2v-3" is not a factor of the polynomial"Then 2v−3 is not a factor of the polynomial
