Polynomial : x⁴+ax³+2x²-3x+b

Divider : x²-1 


Check divider :

f(x)=x²-1 q(x) +0 ⇒(q(x) =quotient)

f(x)=(x-1)(x+1).q(x)

 x = +1 and -1


1| 1     a         2           -3      b 

  |        1     (a+1)    (a+3)    a       +

    1 (a+1)  (a+3)       a       a+b=0 ......(i)


-1 | 1   a         2          -3         b

    |     -1     (-a+1)    (a-3)  (-a+6)   +

      1 (a-1) (-a+3)    (a-6)   b-a= -6 .....(ii)


Elimination equation 1 and equation 2:

a+b   =0

-a+b =-6

   2a  = 6

     a  = 3


a+b=0

3+b=0

    b= -3
