Answer:
The quotient of this division is
. The remainder here would be
.
Step-by-step explanation:
The numerator
is a polynomial about
with degree
.
The divisor
is a polynomial, also about
, but with degree
.
By the division algorithm, the quotient should be of degree
, while the remainder shall be of degree
(i.e., the remainder would be a constant.) Let the quotient be
with coefficients
,
, and
.
.
Start by finding the first coefficient of the quotient.
The degree-three term on the left-hand side is
. On the right-hand side, that would be
. Hence
.
Now, given that
, rewrite the right-hand side:
.
Hence:
![4x^3 + 2x + 7 = 4x^3 + 12x^2 + (b\,x + c)(x + 3)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=4x%5E3%20%2B%202x%20%2B%207%20%3D%204x%5E3%20%2B%2012x%5E2%20%2B%20%28b%5C%2Cx%20%2B%20c%29%28x%20%2B%203%29)
Subtract
from both sides of the equation:
.
The term with a degree of two on the left-hand side has coefficient
. Since the only term on the right hand side with degree two would have coefficient
,
.
Again, rewrite the right-hand side:
.
Subtract
from both sides of the equation:
.
By the same logic,
.
Hence the quotient would be
.
