Solution


Let p(x) be the polynomial which is to be subtracted from x2 + 13x + 7 to get the polynomial 3x2 + 5x − 4.

∴ (x2 + 13x + 7) − p(x) = 3x2 + 5x − 4

⇒ p(x) = (x2 + 13x + 7) − (3x2 + 5x − 4)

⇒ p(x) = x2 + 13x + 7 − 3x2 − 5x + 4

⇒ p(x) = x2 − 3x2 + 13x − 5x + 7 + 4

⇒ p(x) = −2x2 + 8x + 11

Thus, the required polynomial is −2x2 + 8x + 11.
