Quotient of (x^3 – 3x^2 + 5x – 3) ÷ (x – 1)

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

The result we get when we divide one polynomial by another polynomial is called the quotient. The quotient can be another polynomial or a constant. We will learn about the quotient of (x^3 – 3x^2 + 5x – 3) ÷ (x – 1) below.

What is the Quotient of (x^3 – 3x^2 + 5x – 3) ÷ (x – 1)?

To find the quotient of (x3 – 3x2 + 5x – 3) ÷ (x – 1), we can follow the steps given below. These steps make the polynomial division process simple.

 

Step 1: Set up the division with the dividend (x3 – 3x2 + 5x – 3) and the divisor (x – 1).

 

Step 2: Divide the first term of the dividend by the first term of the divisor. Here, divide x^3 by x to get x2.

 

Step 3: Multiply the entire divisor (x – 1) by this result (x2) and subtract from the original dividend.

 

Step 4: Repeat the process with the new polynomial obtained after subtraction, which is now the new dividend. Continue this until the degree of the remainder is less than the degree of the divisor.

 

Step 5: The final quotient is x2 – 2x + 3, and the remainder is 0.
