Make the given changes in the indicated examples of this section and then perform the indicated divisions.

In Example 5, change the sign of the middle term of the numerator
from + to −.


Data from Example 5

Perform the division

8x3+4x2+3 4x - 1

Because there is no x-term in the dividend, we should leave space for any x-terms that might arise (which we will show as 0x).


Because the degree of the remainder 2x + 4 is less than that of the divisor, the longdivision process is complete and the answer is

8x3+4x2+3 4x - 1
