remember the rules:

*in dividing polynomials just subtract the exponent the divisor from the exponent of the dividend

*in multiplying say for example (2x^2)(3x^3) just add the

exponents 6x^5

* when a polynomial like (2x^2)^2 you just get the

square of to then multiply the exponent that is 2 with

2.
