1 answer

Here is the long division of (x^3+3x^2-x+4)/(x-1):

x^2 + 4x + 3
______________________
x - 1 | x^3 + 3x^2 - x + 4
- ( x^3 - x^2 )
__________________
4x^2 - x + 4
- ( 4x^2 - 4x)
__________________
3x + 4
- ( 3x - 3)
________________
7

The quotient is x^2 + 4x + 3 and the remainder is 7.

Therefore, (x^3+3x^2-x+4)/(x-1) = x^2 + 4x + 3 + 7/(x-1)
