We want to divide 4x³ + 2x - 3 by x - 3 with the long division method
First, we rewrite the polynomial as:
4x³ + 0x² + 2x - 3
Them we divide the first term of the dividend by the highest term of the divisor:
4x²
x - 3 |4x³ + 0x² + 2x - 3
Then we multiply the divisor by this result:
| 4x²
x - 3 |4x³ + 0x² + 2x - 3
4x³ - 12x²
Now we subtract this result from the dividend:
| 4x²
x - 3 |4x³ + 0x² + 2x - 3
4x³ - 12x²
|12x² + 2x - 3
Now we can repeat all the previous steps using the last result as dividend:
| 4x² + 12x
x - 3 | 12x² + 2x - 3
12x² - 36x
|38x - 3
And we repeat these steps once more:
4x² + 12x + 38
x - 3 | 38x - 3
34x - 102
|99
The final term is the remainder
Then, we have:
4x³ + 2x - 3 = (x - 3)*(4x² + 12x + 34) + 99
