Answer

Step 6: Multiply the divisor x23x+1 by 8 and subtract the result from the new dividend. The result is 16x7, which is the remainder of the division.

Steps

Step 1 :Step 1: Perform the polynomial division, dividing the first term of the dividend 3x4 by the first term of the divisor x2 gives us 3x2.

Step 2 :Step 2: Multiply the divisor x23x+1 by 3x2 and subtract the result from the dividend. The result is 11x3+20x25x+1.

Step 3 :Step 3: Repeat the process, dividing the first term of the new dividend 11x3 by the first term of the divisor x2, which gives us 11x.

Step 4 :Step 4: Multiply the divisor x23x+1 by 11x and subtract the result from the new dividend. The result is 8x2+28x11.

Step 5 :Step 5: Repeat the process once more, dividing the first term of the new dividend 8x2 by the first term of the divisor x2, which gives us 8.

Step 6 :Step 6: Multiply the divisor x23x+1 by 8 and subtract the result from the new dividend. The result is 16x7, which is the remainder of the division.
