RE: [PHP] Calculator Script

Well, that would almost work, except that for something like (2x^2 - 8x - 41) / (x-7). A = 2 B+A*R = 6 C+B*R+A*R^2 = 1 This is actually pretty close: 2x + 8 + (1 / (x-7)) I guess there isn't any one way to really make this program work, unless you have any ideas.

What exactly is this program finding, since it - obviously isn't any coefficients? - [/snip] - - Acutally, looking at it further, it looks like it actually almost did it - correctly. If you take the results that the calculator gave you and - divide them by 3 then you get your answer. So the caluclator divides it - by b then you have to add in a part of it to divide by the 3.
