2 Answers

p(x)=3x24x+14+(54)x+3

Explanation:

Let 3x3+5x2+2x12 be p(x)
Using long division of polynomial's
(+)3x24x+14
x+33x3+5x2+2x12
()3x3+9x24x2+2x12
()4x212x14x12
()14x+4254
p(x)=Q(x)+RD
Where,Q=quotient
R=remainder
D=divisor
p(x)=3x24x+14+(54)x+3

3x24x+1454x+3

Explanation:

one way is to use the divisor as a factor in the numerator

consider the numerator

3x2(x+3)9x2+5x2+2x12

=3x2(x+3)4x(x+3)+12x+2x12

=3x2(x+3)4x(x+3)+14(x+3)4212

=3x2(x+3)4x(x+3)+14(x+3)54

quotient =3x24x+14, remainder =54

3x3+5x2+2x12

=3x24x+1454x+3
