What is the first term of the quotient of the following division problem? (x3 - 1) : (x + 2)

x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

given:

x^3-1/x+2

As the denominator is linear function and the highest power in numerator is x^3

So the first term in quotient is going to be x^2 to cancel first term of numerator i. e x^3!
