Divide the polynomial 3x4 - 4x3 - 3x - 1 gy x-1 and find its quotient and remainder.
Answers
x-1 ) 3x4 - 4x3 - 3x - 1 ( 3x3 – x2 - x - 4
- ( 3x4 - 3x3 )
---------------------------
- x3 - 3x
- ( - x3 + x2 )
----------------------
- x 2 - 3x
- ( - x2 + x )
-------------------------
- 4x - 1
- (- 4x + 4)
----------------------------
-5
Quotient = 3x 3 - x 2 - x - 4 ( 3x cube - x square - x )
reminder = - 5
