Divide the following polynomials (a4 + 4b4)/ (a2 - 2ab + 2b2)
Solution:
Given polynomials (a4 + 4b4)/ (a2 - 2ab + 2b2)
Here, the dividend is a4 + 4b4 and the divisor is a2 - 2ab + 2b2
We shall solve by long division of polynomials.
a2 - 2ab + 2b2) a4 + 0a3b + 0a2b2 + 0ab3 + 4b4 (a2 + 2ab + 2b2
(-) a4 - 2a3b + 2a2b2
--------------------------------------------
2a3b - 2a2b2 + 0ab3
(-) 2a3b - 4a2b2 + 4ab3
--------------------------------------------
2a2b2 - 4ab3 + 4b4
(-) 2a2b2 - 4ab3 + 4b4
--------------------------------------------
0
Therefore, the quotient is a2 + 2ab + 2b2
Divide the following polynomials (a4 + 4b4)/ (a2 - 2ab + 2b2)
Summary:
By dividing the given polynomials, we get the quotient as a2 + 2ab + 2b2.
