Question

Divide and write the quotient and remainder.

(5) (p⁴ – 2p + 9) ÷ p²

Answer 1

(p⁴ – 2p + 9) ÷ p² can be shown as:

$$\begin{gathered} p^2 \\ {p}^2\overline{)p^4-2p+9} \\ \underline{-p^4} \\ \underline{0-2p+9} \end{gathered}$$

So, the quotient of the division is p² and the remainder is –2p + 9
