Q5 of 64 Page 49

Find q(x) and r(x), for the quadratic polynomial p(x) = 11x — 21 + 2x2 when divided by 1 + 2x

Here, dividend polynomial = p(x) = 11x — 21 + 2x2 = 2x2 + 11x — 21


and divisor polynomial = s(x) = 1 + 2x = 2x + 1



The quotient polynomial q(x) = x + 5 and the reminder polynomial r(x) = –26.
