Q. Divide the polynomials. Your answer should be in the form p(x)+xk where p is a polynomial and k is an integer.x5x2+x+7=□
Step 1: Divide by x: Divide each term of the polynomial by x.We will divide each term of the polynomial 5x2+x+7 by x separately.5x2 divided by x is 5x, because x in the denominator cancels out one x in the numerator.x divided by x is 1, because x0 is equal to 1.x2 divided by x cannot be simplified further and remains as x4.
Step 2: Write in p(x)+xk form: Write the result in the form p(x)+xk.The result of the division from Step 1 gives us the polynomial part p(x) as 5x+1 and the fraction part as x7.So, the final answer in the required form is p(x)+xk=(5x+1)+x7.
