The correct Answer is:
To find the quotient and remainder when dividing \( x^3 - 6x^2 + 11x - 6 \) by \( x^2 - 5x + 6 \), we can use polynomial long division. Here are the steps: ### Step 1: Set up the division We will divide \( x^3 - 6x^2 + 11x - 6 \) (the dividend) by \( x^2 - 5x + 6 \) (the divisor). ### Step 2: Divide the leading terms Divide the leading term of the dividend \( x^3 \) by the leading term of the divisor \( x^2 \): \[ \frac{x^3}{x^2} = x \] This \( x \) is the first term of our quotient. ### Step 3: Multiply and subtract Now, multiply the entire divisor \( x^2 - 5x + 6 \) by \( x \): \[ x(x^2 - 5x + 6) = x^3 - 5x^2 + 6x \] Now, subtract this result from the original polynomial: \[ (x^3 - 6x^2 + 11x - 6) - (x^3 - 5x^2 + 6x) \] This simplifies to: \[ (-6x^2 + 5x^2) + (11x - 6x) - 6 = -x^2 + 5x - 6 \] ### Step 4: Repeat the process Now we need to divide \( -x^2 + 5x - 6 \) by \( x^2 - 5x + 6 \). Divide the leading term \( -x^2 \) by \( x^2 \): \[ \frac{-x^2}{x^2} = -1 \] This \( -1 \) is the next term of our quotient. ### Step 5: Multiply and subtract again Multiply the entire divisor by \( -1 \): \[ -1(x^2 - 5x + 6) = -x^2 + 5x - 6 \] Now, subtract this from \( -x^2 + 5x - 6 \): \[ (-x^2 + 5x - 6) - (-x^2 + 5x - 6) = 0 \] ### Step 6: Conclusion Since we have reached 0, the division is complete. Thus, the quotient is: \[ \text{Quotient} = x - 1 \] And the remainder is: \[ \text{Remainder} = 0 \] ### Final Answer: Quotient: \( x - 1 \) Remainder: \( 0 \) ---
