To simplify the given expression, we need to perform polynomial long division.
Given expression: (4t^2 - 5t + 3) / (2t^2 - t + 1)
Step 1: Divide the leading term of the numerator by the leading term of the denominator.
(4t^2 / 2t^2) = 2
Step 2: Multiply the entire denominator by the result obtained in Step 1 and subtract the result from the numerator.
(4t^2 - 5t + 3) - 2(2t^2 - t + 1) = -5t + 3 - 4t^2 + 2t - 2
Step 3: Repeat Steps 1 and 2 with the new polynomial.
(-5t + 3) / (2t^2 - t + 1)
(-5t / 2t) = -5/2
(-5t + 3) - (-5/2)(2t^2 - t + 1) = -5t + 3 + 5t^2/2 - 5t/2 + 5/2
Step 4: Repeat Steps 1 and 2 with the new polynomial.
(-5t + 3 + 5t^2/2 - 5t/2 + 5/2) / (2t^2 - t + 1)
This process will result in a complicated expression but essentially helps simplify the given quantity.
As a simplified result, we get: 2 + (-7t + 5) / (2t^2 - t + 1)
What is the simplified form of the quantity of 4 times t squared minus 5 times t plus three divided by the quantity of 2 times t squared minus t plus 1?
