Solution
Let us find quotient and the remainder by long division method: (i) 3x7x3)¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯21x4−14x2+7x21x4(−)__________________________________−14x2+7x
Therefore, quotient=3x and remainder R=−14x2+7x
(ii) 3x3−2x2+4x+12x2)¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯6x5−4x4+8x3+2x26x5(−)−__________________________________−4x4+8x3+2x2−4x2(−)+__________________________________8x3+2x28x3(−)−___________________________________2x2(−)−2x2___________________________________0 Therefore, Q=3x3−2x2+4x+1 and remainder=0.
