\n" ); document.write( "Divide P(x) by D(x) to find Q(x) and R

\n" ); document.write( ".......2.....-3...5...|..0\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Q(x) = Quotient = 2x^2-3x+5
\n" ); document.write( "R = Remainder = 0
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "P(x) = (x-1)(2x^2-3x+5)+0
