What is the first term of the quotient of the following division problem?

(x3 – 1) ÷ (x + 2)
–0.5
1
x2
x4

The first term of the quotient of the following division problem will be:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a division problem whose denominator is a linear polynomial given by:

and the numerator is a cubic polynomial given by:

Now, on dividing the given term we see that firstly we need to omit the term so, in order to do so we need to take the first term in the quotient to be:

( Since, if we take quotient , then

which on subtracting from will omit the term .

Hence , the degree of the polynomial will be decreased )

Hence, the first term in the quotient is:

17 1/3
