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
