We invite you to try to solve it before watching the video.

In any case, you will find below a PDF file with the solution.

Exercise 1.

Divide the polynomial (x^4-x^3+x^2-3x-1) by (x^2+1).

Exercise 2.

Divide the polynomial ((x^3-8)) by ((x-2)).

Exercise 3. [Solved only in the PDF file]

Make the following divisions between polynomials:

i) ((2x^3-3x^2+3x+2) : (2x-1));

ii) ((x^4+2x^3-2x^2-5):(x+x^2-4)).
