You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(t^3-t^2+t-1)divided by (t+1)
DO IT BY SHORT DIVISION METHOD...PUT T+1=0...SO T=-1
USE THIS TO DIVIDE....WRITE COEFFICIENTS IN ORDER
-1|.....1......-1........1..........-1
........0......-1........2..........-3
----------------------------------------------
........1......-2........3..........-4
SO ANSWER IS
T^2-2T+3.....AND REMAINDER IS -4.
