Solution

Step 1: Division

Letx2-4x+3x2+6x+8x4+2x3-13x2-12x+21

x4-4x3+3x26x3-16x2-12x

6x3-24x2+18x8x2-30x+21

8x2-32x+242x-3

Step 2: Subtracting the remainder

Inordertodividethep(x)byx2-4x+3wesubtracttheremainderr(x)=2x-3top(x)i.e.,x4+2x3-13x2-12x-21-2x-3=x4+2x3-13x2-14x+24NowforVerification:

x2-4x+3x2+6x+8x4+2x3-13x2-14x+24

x4-4x3+3x26x3-16x2-14x

6x3-24x2+18x8x2-32x+24

8x2-32x+240
Hence verified

Therefore, the subtracted polynomial is 2x-3
