Complete question:

4x³ - 4x + 3 is divided by (2x - 1). Find the quotient and the remainder

Answer:

The quotient = 2x² + x - ³/₂ and the remainder = ³/₂

Explanation:

Given function;

4x³ - 4x + 3 divided by (2x-1)

Use long division method to obtain the remainder and the quotient.

2x² + x - ³/₂

-----------------------

2x - 1 √4x³ - 4x + 3

- (4x³ - 2x²)

----------------------------

2x² - 4x + 3

- ( 2x² - x)

-----------------------------

-3x + 3

-(-3x + ³/₂)

----------------------------

³/₂

Therefore, the quotient = 2x² + x - ³/₂ and the remainder = ³/₂
