LONG METHOD DIVISION : -
⋆ Arrange the indices of the polynomial in descending order. Replace the missing term(s) with 0.
⋆ Divide the first term of the dividend (the polynomial to be divided) by the first term of the divisor. This gives the first term of the quotient.
⋆ Multiply the divisor by the first term of the quotient.
⋆ Subtract the product from the dividend then bring down the next term. The difference and the next term will be the new dividend. Note: Remember the rule in subtraction "change the sign of the subtrahend then proceed to addition".
⋆ Repeat step 2 – 4 to find the second term of the quotient.
⋆ Continue the process until a remainder is obtained. This can be zero or is of lower index than the divisor.
⋆ If the divisor is a factor of the dividend, you will obtain a remainder equal to zero. If the divisor is not a factor of the dividend, you will obtain a remainder whose index is lower than the index of the divisor.
Sᴏʟᴜᴛɪᴏɴ :-
x² - 5 )x⁴ + 4x³ - 2x² - 20x - 15( x² + 4x + 3
x⁴ - 5x²
4x³ +3x² - 20x
4x³ -20x
3x² - 15
3x² - 15
0
Hence,
→ Quotient :- x² + 4x + 3
→ Remainder :- 0.
