You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Use long division to find the quotient Q(x) and the remainder R(x) when P(x) is divided by d(x).
\n" ); document.write( "P(x)= x^4+2x^3-2x+4
\n" ); document.write( "d(x)= x-2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "You need to set it up like this, note the 0x^2:
\n" ); document.write( ":......____________________________
\n" ); document.write( "(x-2) | x^4 + 2x^3 + 0x^2 - 2x + 4
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Follow the rules of long division and you will have:
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "..........................x^3 + 4x^2 + 8x + 14; remainder 32/(x-2)
\n" ); document.write( ":...........-----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "(x-2) | x^4 + 2x^3 + 0x^2 - 2x + 4
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
