Use polynomial long division to perform the indicated division. Write the polynomial in the form
\n" ); document.write( "p(x) = d(x)q(x) + r(x).
\n" ); document.write( "(−x5 + 9x3 − x) ÷ (x3 − x2 + 5)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Some comments::
\n" ); document.write( "1. Write the dividend (p(x)) as -x^5+0+9x^3+0-x+0
\n" ); document.write( "2. Divide by (d(x)) to get the 1st term of the quotient q(x)):: -x^2
\n" ); document.write( "3. Multiply -x^2(x^3-x^2+5) and subtract from p(x) to get
\n" ); document.write( "partial divident = -x^4+9x^3+5x^2-x+0
\n" ); document.write( "4. Divide that by the divisor (d(x)) to get the 2nd term of q(x) :: -x
\n" ); document.write( "etc.
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Ans: p(x) = (x^3-x^2+5)(-x^2-x+8)+13x^2=4x-40
