Rewrite the expression in long division form (x4 - 10x2 + 2x + 3)/(x - 3).
\Because there is no x3 - term in the dividend, we need to line up the subtraction by using zero coefficients (or leaving spaces) for the missing terms.
\Divide the first term of the dividend by the first term of the divisor x4/x = x3.
\So,the first term of the quotient is x3. Multiply (x - 3) by x3 and subtract.
\Divide the first term of the last row by first term of the divisor 3x3/x = 3x2.
\So,the second term of the quotient is 3x2. Multiply (x - 3) by 3x2 and subtract.
\Divide the first term of the last row by first term of the divisor (- x2)/x = - x.
\So,the third term of the quotient is (- x). Multiply (x - 3) by (- x) and subtract.
\Divide the first term of the last row by first term of the divisor (- x)/x = - 1.
\So,the fourth term of the quotient is - 1. Multiply (x - 3) by (- 1) and subtract.
\The remainder is the last entry in the last row.There fore, R = 0.
\The number along the bottom row are the coefficients of the quotient.
\The result of the division is (x4 - 10x2 + 2x + 3)/(x - 3) = (x3 + 3x2 - x - 1) + 0/(x - 3).
\The result of the division is x4 - 10x2 + 2x + 3 = (x - 3)(x3 + 3x2 - x - 1) + 0.
