Answer:
p=1 q=7
Step-by-step explanation:
When we divide p(x) = x⁴+x³+8x²+px+q by g(x) = x²+1 the remainder is (p-1)x+q-7.
We are told that p(x) is divisible by g(x), so the remainder should be equal to zero.
Therefore (p-1)x+q-7 = 0.
For this to happen (p-1)x should be equal to zero and q-7 should be zero.
So it will be 0x+0=0.
Hence (p-1)x=0x q-7=0.
p=1 q=7
So the value of p is 1 and q is 7.
