Divide 4x316x2+18x284x^3 - 16x^2 + 18x - 28 by x+3-x + 3 using long division. Find the quotient and remainder.

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. We are dividing a polynomial by a binomial using long division.
2. The polynomial to be divided is 4x316x2+18x284x^3 - 16x^2 + 18x - 28.
3. The binomial divisor is x+3-x + 3.

STEP 2

Set up the long division by writing the polynomial (dividend) inside the division symbol and the binomial (divisor) outside.
x+34x316x2+18x28\begin{array}{r|l} -x+3 & 4x^3 - 16x^2 + 18x - 28 \\ \end{array}

STEP 3

Divide the first term of the polynomial by the first term of the binomial to get the first term of the quotient.
4x3x=4x2\frac{4x^3}{-x} = -4x^2

STEP 4

Write the first term of the quotient above the division symbol.
x+34x316x2+18x284x2\begin{array}{r|l} -x+3 & 4x^3 - 16x^2 + 18x - 28 \\ \hline & -4x^2 \\ \end{array}

STEP 5

Multiply the entire binomial by the first term of the quotient and write the result under the corresponding terms of the polynomial.
(x+3)(4x2)=4x312x2(-x+3)(-4x^2) = 4x^3 - 12x^2
x+34x316x2+18x284x2(4x312x2)\begin{array}{r|l} -x+3 & 4x^3 - 16x^2 + 18x - 28 \\ \hline & -4x^2 \\ & -(4x^3 - 12x^2) \\ \end{array}

STEP 6

Subtract the result from the polynomial (change the signs and add).
x+34x316x2+18x284x2(4x312x2)4x316x204x2\begin{array}{r|l} -x+3 & 4x^3 - 16x^2 + 18x - 28 \\ \hline & -4x^2 \\ & -(4x^3 - 12x^2) \\ & \underline{4x^3 - 16x^2} \\ & 0 - 4x^2 \\ \end{array}

STEP 7

Bring down the next term of the polynomial to continue the division.
x+34x316x2+18x284x2(4x312x2)4x316x24x2+18x\begin{array}{r|l} -x+3 & 4x^3 - 16x^2 + 18x - 28 \\ \hline & -4x^2 \\ & -(4x^3 - 12x^2) \\ & \underline{4x^3 - 16x^2} \\ & -4x^2 + 18x \\ \end{array}

STEP 8

Divide the new first term of the remaining polynomial by the first term of the binomial to get the next term of the quotient.
4x2x=4x\frac{-4x^2}{-x} = 4x

STEP 9

Write the next term of the quotient above the division symbol.
x+34x316x2+18x284x2+4x(4x312x2)4x316x24x2+18x\begin{array}{r|l} -x+3 & 4x^3 - 16x^2 + 18x - 28 \\ \hline & -4x^2 + 4x \\ & -(4x^3 - 12x^2) \\ & \underline{4x^3 - 16x^2} \\ & -4x^2 + 18x \\ \end{array}

STEP 10

Multiply the binomial by the new term of the quotient and write the result under the corresponding terms of the polynomial.
(x+3)(4x)=4x2+12x(-x+3)(4x) = -4x^2 + 12x
