Basic functions: Rational functions
Polynomial division with remainder
Consider \[\begin{aligned}p(x)&=-6\,x^4-4\,x^3-5\,x^2-x+1\\[0.25cm] d(x)&=-2\,x^2-1\end{aligned}\] Divide \(p(x)\) by \(d(x)\) with remainder, that is, determine the quotient \(q(x)\) and the remainder \(r(x)\) such that \(p(x)=q(x)\cdot d(x)+r(x)\).
| quotient \(q(x)={}\) |
| remainder \(r(x)={}\) |
