Hi there. I am currently in the review section of my college algebra textbook in my self-study journey. Section R.6 covers Synthetic Division.

Divide 0.1x^3 + 0.2x by x + 1.1

add a term for the missing power:

0.1x^3 + 0x^2 + 0.2x + 0

do the synethtic division setup

synthetic division:

-1.1 | 0.1 0.0 0.2 0.0
     |
     -----------------

then do the steps

synthetic division:

-1.1 | 0.1  0.00  0.200  0.0000
     |     -0.11  0.121 -0.3531
     --------------------------
       0.1 -0.11  0.321 -0.3531

agree

Here is my url:

You told to place between the following:

[ img ] https://imgur.com/gallery/4Gh1VYy [ / img ]

When I do that, there is no picture.

What am I still doing wrong?

Two things:

1. Image tags and the url within the image tags can't contain spaces, but yours do, and must be removed. I've marked the offending spaces with a red x:
    (a) before and after the url: xhttps://imgur.com/gallery/4Gh1VYyx
    (b) in the opening tag: [ximgx]
    (c) in the closing tag: [x/ximgx]
    Note: Image tags are a BBCode formatting option that must obey a specific syntax for them to work.  See example here: BBCode (near the bottom of the 'Links and images' box).

2. The url is to a webpage, and although that page contains the image (+ other stuff), the url must be to the image itself.

See the following...

The important thing when copying an image url is that the link you're copying must refer to an 'image address' (ie, with an 'image extension' as above), not something else like a 'link address'.

Btw, the direct Imgur url to an actual image begins https://i.imgur.com... ('i.' signifying it's an image link, I suppose).

This is the URL of the image: https://i.imgur.com/t8F77rc.png

Note that it starts with https://i.imgur.com and ends with an image extension (png, in this case).

And from the image in my post #14:
     "Tip: The URL starts with https://i.imgur.com, and ends with an ‘image extension’ (eg, ‘gif’, ‘jpeg’, ‘jpg’ or ‘png’)."

Your https://imgur.com/gallery/4Gh1VYy doesn't start with https://i.imgur.com, and doesn't end with an image extension...

I read into your post that you've worked out how to obtain an image link, and to paste it, with your Android! Correct?

If so, all that's left now is for you to enclose the url in img tags to display the image...like so:

[img]image url[/img]

I have edited your last post to show this, Bob

I found the following instructions on Google Support (here), and adapted them for Imgur + Android:
https://i.imgur.com/t8F77rc.png
This is the URL of the image: https://i.imgur.com/t8F77rc.png

Note that it starts with https://i.imgur.com and ends with an image extension (png, in this case).
