Q. Divide the polynomials.Your answer should be in the form p(x)+xk where p is a polynomial and k is an integer.x2x3+7=□
Divide by x: Divide each term of the polynomial by x.We have the polynomial 2x3+7, and we want to divide each term by x.Dividing 2x3 by x gives us 2x2, because x3 divided by x is x3−1=x2.Dividing 7 by x cannot be simplified further, so it remains as x0.
Write in required form: Write the result in the required form.The result of the division is 2x2+x7.This is already in the form p(x)+xk, where p(x) is the polynomial 2x2 and k is the integer 7.
