Question
Verify the division algorithm i.e., Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder, in the following. Also write the quotient and remainder.
Dividend: $15 z^3-20 z^2+13 z-12$
Divisor: $3 z-6$

Answer



Quotient $=5\text{z}^2+\frac{10}{3}\text{z}+11$
Remainder $=54$
Divisor × Quotient + Remainder $=(3\text{z}-6)\Big(5\text{z}^2+\frac{10}{3}\text{z}+11\Big)+54$
$=15\text{z}^3+10\text{z}^2+33\text{z}-30\text{z}^2-20\text{z}-66+54$
$15\text{z}^3-20\text{z}^2+13\text{z}-12$
$=\text{Dividend}$
Thus,
Divisor × Quotient + Remainder = Dividend
Hence verified.
