Question 1 Report
To divide the given expression, we can use the long division method.
ax^2 - 26x + 156a - 216b
___________________________________
ax | ax^3 + 3x^2 - 26x^2 + 156ax - 216bx^2 - 24ax + 108
-ax^3
-----
3x^2 - 216bx^2
3x^2 - 3ax^2
--------------
-216bx^2 + 3ax^2
-216bx^2 + 36ax^2
------------------
-33ax^2 + 156a - 216bx^2 - 24ax + 108
-33ax^2 + 33bx^2
------------------
156a - 33ax^2 - 24ax + 108
156a - 33ax^2 - 156ax + 33ax
-------------------------
-24ax + 108
-24ax + 24bx
-------------
108 - 24bx
108 - 2ax
--------
2ax - 24bx + 108
Therefore, the quotient is ax - 2 with a remainder of 2ax - 24bx + 108.
Hence, the answer is ax - 2.
