Q. The form of your answer should either be p(x) or p(x)+x−5k where p(x) is a polynomial and k is an integer. x−55x3−22x2−17x+11
Divide Leading Terms: question_prompt: Simplify the expression (5x3−22x2−17x+11)/(x−5) and write it in the form p(x) or p(x)+(k)/(x−5).
Subtract Result: Use polynomial long division to divide 5x3−22x2−17x+11 by x−5.
Repeat Process: Divide the leading term of the dividend 5x3 by the leading term of the divisor x to get 5x2. Multiply x−5 by 5x2 to get 5x3−25x2. Subtract this from the original polynomial to get 3x2−17x+11.
Divide Coefficients: Repeat the process: Divide 3x2 by x to get 3x. Multiply x−5 by 3x to get 3x2−15x. Subtract this from 3x2−17x+11 to get −2x+11.
Check Remainder: Divide −2x by x to get −2. Multiply x−5 by −2 to get −2x+10. Subtract this from −2x+11 to get 1.
Check Remainder: Divide −2x by x to get −2. Multiply x−5 by −2 to get −2x+10. Subtract this from −2x+11 to get 1. The remainder is 1, which is less than the degree of the divisor (x−5). The division process is complete.
