Question

Two polynomials P and D are given. Use either synthetic or long division to divide P(x)

 by D(x),

 and express P in the form P(x) = D(x) · Q(x) + R(x).

P(x) = 20x⁴ + 16x³ + 9x²,    D(x) = 4x² + 1

P(x)=

Answer 1

The solution should be written as:

P(x) = D(x) * (Q(x)+R(x))

Where D(x) is distributed to both the Q(x) and R(x)

Hope this helps!

Best of luck!
