Explanation of Solution
Given:
Concept Used:
Steps to follow before applying Long Division method:
- Write the terms of the dividend and divisor in descending powers of the variable.
- Insert placeholders with zero coefficients for missing powers of the variable.
Calculation:
To divide
Here, the terms of dividend and divisor are already in descending powers of the variable. Now inserting placeholders with zero coefficients for missing powers of the variable above division becomes:
Thus, the division may be proceeded as:
Thus, dividing
