Solution

Given,

f(x) = 3x2 – x3 – 3x + 5

g(x) = x – 1 – x2

Dividing f(x) = 3x2 – x3 – 3x + 5 by g(x) = x – 1 – x2
So,


Here,

Quotient = q(x) = x – 2

Remainder = r(x) = 3

By division algorithm of polynomials,

Dividend = (Quotient × Divisor) + Remainder

So,

[q(x) × g(x)] + r(x) = (x – 2)(x – 1 – x2) + 3

= x2 – x – x3 – 2x + 2 + 2x2 + 3

= 3x2 – x3 – 3x + 5

= f(x)

Hence, the division algorithm is verified.
