Question

divide (a^16 -1) by (a^2 +1)

Answer 1

[tex](a^8)^2 - (1)^2 / a^2 +1 (a^8 +1) * (a^8-1) / a^2+1 (a^8 +1) * ((a^4)^2- (1)^2) / a^2+1 (a^8 +1) * (a^4 - 1) * (a^4 + 1) / a^2+1 similarly (a^8 +1) * (a^2 - 1) * (a^2+1) * (a^4 + 1) / a^2+1 (a^8 +1) * (a^2 - 1) * (a^4 + 1) [/tex]$a^{16} -1 /a^2 +1 =$

thus ur answer is 

[tex] (a^8 +1) * (a^2 - 1) * (a^4 + 1) [/tex]
