Answer:

Quotient = a²+ 4a- 2

Explanation:

(8a3+31a2-20a-5)/(8a-1)

=

a² +4a-2 ⇒ quotient

(8a-1)√(8a3+31a2-20a-5)

8a²- a² ⇒ Multiplying (8a-1) by a²

- + ⇒ Changing signs

32a²- 20a- 5

32a²- 4a ⇒ Multiplying (8a-1) by 4a

- + ⇒Changing signs

-16a -5

- 16a +2 ⇒ Multiplying (8a-1) by -2

+ - ⇒ Changing signs

-7 ⇒ Remainder

We follow the steps of simple division to get the quotient which is a²+ 4a- 2

We multiply (8a-1) by factors such as a², +4a and -2 to get the same terms as given in the dividend.
