Step 1 :Step 1: Divide \( P(x) \) by \( Q(x) \) using polynomial long division. This gives us \( P(x) = Q(x) \cdot (2x^2 - x + 5) + R(x) \), where \( R(x) \) is the remainder.
Step 2 :Step 2: Set \( Q(x) = 0 \) to find the root \( \theta \), we have \( x - 1 = 0 \) which gives \( \theta = 1 \)
Step 3 :Step 3: Substitute \( \theta = 1 \) into \( R(x) \), we get \( R(1) = 2 \cdot 1^3 - 3 \cdot 1^2 + 4 \cdot 1 - 5 = -2 \)
Step 4 :Step 4: Since it's given that \( R(\theta) = \cos(\theta) \), we have \( \cos(\theta) = -2 \)
