Divide Leading Terms: To solve this problem, we will perform polynomial long division. We will divide the polynomial in the numerator, x4−x2−5, by the polynomial in the denominator, x2+4x−1.
Subtract and Simplify: First, we divide the leading term of the numerator, x4, by the leading term of the denominator, x2, to get x2. This will be the first term of our quotient.
Divide New Leading Term: Next, we multiply the entire denominator, (x2+4x−1), by the term we just found, x2, and subtract this from the numerator.(x4−x2−5)−(x2⋅(x2+4x−1))=(x4−x2−5)−(x4+4x3−x2)
Subtract and Simplify: Simplify the subtraction by combining like terms. (x4−x2−5)−(x4+4x3−x2)=−4x3−5
Divide New Leading Term: Now, we divide the new leading term of the remainder, −4x3, by the leading term of the denominator, x2, to get −4x. This will be the next term of our quotient.
Subtract and Simplify: We multiply the entire denominator, (x2+4x−1), by the term we just found, −4x, and subtract this from the current remainder.−4x3−5−(−4x×(x2+4x−1))=−4x3−5−(−4x3−16x2+4x)
