Given:


(x^4-5x^3+x-4)/(x^2-7x+1)

Required:

To find the quotient and remainder using long division.

Step-by-step explanation:

Now


\begin{gathered} x^^2+2x+13 \\ ----------- \\ x^2-7x+1)x^4-5x^3+x-4 \\ \text{ }-x^4+7x^3-x^2 \\ --------------- \\ \text{ }+2x^3-x^2+x \\ \text{ }-2x^3+14x^2-2x \\ ---------------- \\ \text{ }+13x^2-x-4 \\ \text{ }-13x^2+91x-13 \\ ----------------- \\ \text{ }90x-17 \end{gathered}

Final Answer:

The quotient is


x^2+2x+13

The remainder is


90x-17
