Find the GCD of the following pairs of polynomials using division algorithm.
x3 – 9x2 + 23x – 15, 4x2 – 16x + 12
x3 – 9x2 + 23x – 15
put x = 1 in polynomials equations is 1 – 9(1) + 23 – 15 = 0
This equation is divisible by (x – 1),
then using division algorithm method.
Since,
(x – 1)(x2 – 8x + 15) = (x – 1)[x2 – 5x – 3x + 15]
= (x – 1)[x(x – 5) – 3(x – 5)] = (x – 1)(x – 3)(x – 5)
4x2 – 16x + 12 = 4x2 – 12x – 4x + 12 = 4x(x – 3) – 4(x – 3)
= 4(x – 1)(x – 3)
Greatest common divisor = (x – 1)(x – 3) = x2 – 4x + 3
