Divide Using Long Polynomial Division (x^3-5x^2+13x-14)÷(x-2)

$(x^{3} - 5 x^{2} + 13 x - 14) \div (x - 2)$

Step 1

Set up the polynomials to be divided. If there is not a term for every exponent, insert one with a value of $0$ .

$x$

$2$

$x^{3}$

$5 x^{2}$

$13 x$

$14$

Step 2

Divide the highest order term in the dividend $x^{3}$ by the highest order term in divisor $x$ .

					$x^{2}$
	$x$	-	$2$		$x^{3}$	-	$5 x^{2}$	+	$13 x$	-	$14$

Step 3

Multiply the new quotient term by the divisor.

				$x^{2}$
$x$	-	$2$		$x^{3}$	-	$5 x^{2}$	+	$13 x$	-	$14$
			+	$x^{3}$	-	$2 x^{2}$

Step 4

The expression needs to be subtracted from the dividend, so change all the signs in $x^{3} - 2 x^{2}$

				$x^{2}$
$x$	-	$2$		$x^{3}$	-	$5 x^{2}$	+	$13 x$	-	$14$
			-	$x^{3}$	+	$2 x^{2}$

Step 5

After changing the signs, add the last dividend from the multiplied polynomial to find the new dividend.

				$x^{2}$
$x$	-	$2$		$x^{3}$	-	$5 x^{2}$	+	$13 x$	-	$14$
			-	$x^{3}$	+	$2 x^{2}$
					-	$3 x^{2}$

Step 6

Pull the next terms from the original dividend down into the current dividend.

				$x^{2}$
$x$	-	$2$		$x^{3}$	-	$5 x^{2}$	+	$13 x$	-	$14$
			-	$x^{3}$	+	$2 x^{2}$
					-	$3 x^{2}$	+	$13 x$

Step 7

Divide the highest order term in the dividend $- 3 x^{2}$ by the highest order term in divisor $x$ .

				$x^{2}$	-	$3 x$
$x$	-	$2$		$x^{3}$	-	$5 x^{2}$	+	$13 x$	-	$14$
			-	$x^{3}$	+	$2 x^{2}$
					-	$3 x^{2}$	+	$13 x$

Step 8

Multiply the new quotient term by the divisor.

				$x^{2}$	-	$3 x$
$x$	-	$2$		$x^{3}$	-	$5 x^{2}$	+	$13 x$	-	$14$
			-	$x^{3}$	+	$2 x^{2}$
					-	$3 x^{2}$	+	$13 x$
					-	$3 x^{2}$	+	$6 x$

Step 9

The expression needs to be subtracted from the dividend, so change all the signs in $- 3 x^{2} + 6 x$

				$x^{2}$	-	$3 x$
$x$	-	$2$		$x^{3}$	-	$5 x^{2}$	+	$13 x$	-	$14$
			-	$x^{3}$	+	$2 x^{2}$
					-	$3 x^{2}$	+	$13 x$
					+	$3 x^{2}$	-	$6 x$

Step 10

After changing the signs, add the last dividend from the multiplied polynomial to find the new dividend.

				$x^{2}$	-	$3 x$
$x$	-	$2$		$x^{3}$	-	$5 x^{2}$	+	$13 x$	-	$14$
			-	$x^{3}$	+	$2 x^{2}$
					-	$3 x^{2}$	+	$13 x$
					+	$3 x^{2}$	-	$6 x$
							+	$7 x$

Step 11

Pull the next terms from the original dividend down into the current dividend.

				$x^{2}$	-	$3 x$
$x$	-	$2$		$x^{3}$	-	$5 x^{2}$	+	$13 x$	-	$14$
			-	$x^{3}$	+	$2 x^{2}$
					-	$3 x^{2}$	+	$13 x$
					+	$3 x^{2}$	-	$6 x$
							+	$7 x$	-	$14$

Step 12

Divide the highest order term in the dividend $7 x$ by the highest order term in divisor $x$ .

				$x^{2}$	-	$3 x$	+	$7$
$x$	-	$2$		$x^{3}$	-	$5 x^{2}$	+	$13 x$	-	$14$
			-	$x^{3}$	+	$2 x^{2}$
					-	$3 x^{2}$	+	$13 x$
					+	$3 x^{2}$	-	$6 x$
							+	$7 x$	-	$14$

Step 13

Multiply the new quotient term by the divisor.

				$x^{2}$	-	$3 x$	+	$7$
$x$	-	$2$		$x^{3}$	-	$5 x^{2}$	+	$13 x$	-	$14$
			-	$x^{3}$	+	$2 x^{2}$
					-	$3 x^{2}$	+	$13 x$
					+	$3 x^{2}$	-	$6 x$
							+	$7 x$	-	$14$
							+	$7 x$	-	$14$

Step 14

The expression needs to be subtracted from the dividend, so change all the signs in $7 x - 14$

				$x^{2}$	-	$3 x$	+	$7$
$x$	-	$2$		$x^{3}$	-	$5 x^{2}$	+	$13 x$	-	$14$
			-	$x^{3}$	+	$2 x^{2}$
					-	$3 x^{2}$	+	$13 x$
					+	$3 x^{2}$	-	$6 x$
							+	$7 x$	-	$14$
							-	$7 x$	+	$14$

Step 15

After changing the signs, add the last dividend from the multiplied polynomial to find the new dividend.

				$x^{2}$	-	$3 x$	+	$7$
$x$	-	$2$		$x^{3}$	-	$5 x^{2}$	+	$13 x$	-	$14$
			-	$x^{3}$	+	$2 x^{2}$
					-	$3 x^{2}$	+	$13 x$
					+	$3 x^{2}$	-	$6 x$
							+	$7 x$	-	$14$
							-	$7 x$	+	$14$
										$0$

Step 16

Since the remander is $0$ , the final answer is the quotient.

$x^{2} - 3 x + 7$
