The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the polynomial \( g(x) \) when dividing the polynomial \( p(x) = x^3 - 5x^2 + 6x - 4 \) by \( g(x) \), we can use the polynomial division algorithm. The algorithm states that: \[ p(x) = g(x) \cdot q(x) + r(x) \] where: - \( p(x) \) is the dividend, - \( g(x) \) is the divisor, - \( q(x) \) is the quotient, - \( r(x) \) is the remainder. Given: - \( p(x) = x^3 - 5x^2 + 6x - 4 \) - \( q(x) = x - 3 \) - \( r(x) = -3x + 5 \) ### Step 1: Set up the equation using the division algorithm We can rewrite the equation as follows: \[ x^3 - 5x^2 + 6x - 4 = g(x) \cdot (x - 3) + (-3x + 5) \] ### Step 2: Rearrange the equation Rearranging gives: \[ x^3 - 5x^2 + 6x - 4 + 3x - 5 = g(x) \cdot (x - 3) \] This simplifies to: \[ x^3 - 5x^2 + 9x - 9 = g(x) \cdot (x - 3) \] ### Step 3: Solve for \( g(x) \) Now we can express \( g(x) \) as: \[ g(x) = \frac{x^3 - 5x^2 + 9x - 9}{x - 3} \] ### Step 4: Perform polynomial long division Now we will divide \( x^3 - 5x^2 + 9x - 9 \) by \( x - 3 \). 1. Divide the leading term: \( \frac{x^3}{x} = x^2 \). 2. Multiply \( x^2 \) by \( x - 3 \): \( x^2(x - 3) = x^3 - 3x^2 \). 3. Subtract: \[ (x^3 - 5x^2) - (x^3 - 3x^2) = -5x^2 + 3x^2 = -2x^2 \] 4. Bring down the next term \( +9x \): \[ -2x^2 + 9x \] 5. Divide the leading term: \( \frac{-2x^2}{x} = -2x \). 6. Multiply \( -2x \) by \( x - 3 \): \( -2x(x - 3) = -2x^2 + 6x \). 7. Subtract: \[ (-2x^2 + 9x) - (-2x^2 + 6x) = 9x - 6x = 3x \] 8. Bring down the next term \( -9 \): \[ 3x - 9 \] 9. Divide the leading term: \( \frac{3x}{x} = 3 \). 10. Multiply \( 3 \) by \( x - 3 \): \( 3(x - 3) = 3x - 9 \). 11. Subtract: \[ (3x - 9) - (3x - 9) = 0 \] ### Final Result Since the remainder is \( 0 \), we have: \[ g(x) = x^2 - 2x + 3 \] ### Summary Thus, the polynomial \( g(x) \) is: \[ \boxed{x^2 - 2x + 3} \]
