Thread: Dividing polynomial

I'm having problems dividing the polynomial 2x^5 + 2x^3 + x^2 + 1 by x^2 + 1

Looks straight forward to me. But I don't know what to tell you without seeing what you did. Did you remember to include "0x" in the divisor and " " and " " in the dividend? How many times does divide into ?

It goes in 2x^3 times but I get x^2 as the next quotient part but the correct quotient should be 2x^3 - 1 according to the answer the book gives

This is the subtracting parts: The quotient i got is

Part 1

Part 2



Part 3



Part 4



Final

Yes, divides into times. And multiplying the entire divisor by gives
Now subtract that from the dividend:
.

And now, of course, divides into that exactly once: the quotient is .
