Set up division: Step 1: Set up the division.We need to divide x3+7x2+0x+2 by x−1.
Perform first division: Step 2: Perform the first division.Divide the highest degree term of the dividend by the highest degree term of the divisor.xx3=x2.Multiply x2 by x−1 and subtract from the original polynomial.x3+7x2−(x3−x2)=8x2.
Perform second division: Step 3: Perform the second division.Divide 8x2 by x.x8x2=8x.Multiply 8x by x−1 and subtract.8x2+0x−(8x2−8x)=8x.
Perform third division: Step 4: Perform the third division.Divide 8x by x.x8x=8.Multiply 8 by x−1 and subtract.8x+2−(8x−8)=10.
Write final answer: Step 5: Write the final answer.The quotient is x2+8x+8 with a remainder of 10.Thus, (x3+7x2+2)÷(x−1)=x2+8x+8+x−110.
