Which is the reminder of the division f/g if f=x^5+3x^3-2x^2+x+1 and g=x^3-x ?

First , we'll write the rule of division with
reminder:


f(x)=g(x)*C(x)+R(x), where the degree of the
polynomial


R(x) < the degree of the polynomial
g(x).


Because the degree of g(x) is 3, the degree of 
R(x) will
be 2.


R(x)=ax^2+bx+c


We'll
calculate the root of g(x):


x^3-x =
0


We'll factorize by
x:


x(x^2-1) = 0


x(x-1)(x+1) =
0


We'll set each factor as
0:


x1 =
0


x-1 =
0


x2 =
1


x+1 =
0


x3 =
-1


The roots of g(x) are: x1=0, x2=1,
x3=-1.


If we'll substitute x=1 in f(x), we'll
obtain:


f(1)= 1^5 + 3*1^3 - 2*1^2 + 1 +
1


f(1) = 1 + 3 - 2 + 1 +
1


f(1) = 4


But
f(x)=g(x)*C(x)+R(x),


f(1)=0*C(1) +a+b+c =
a+b+c


a+b+c=4
(1)


Now, we'll substitute x=0 in f(x)
and we'll obtain:


f(0) =
c


f(0)=1


c=1


We'll
substitute x by -1:


f(-1) =
-1-3-2-1+1


f(-1) =
-6


But


f(-1) = 0*C(-1)  +
(a-b+c)


f(-1) =
(a-b+c)


(a-b+c) = -6
(2)


We'll substitute c = 1 in (1) and
(2):


a+b+1 = 4


a+b = 3
(3)


a-b+1 = -6


a-b = -7
(4)


We'll add (3) and
(4):


a+b+a-b = 3-7


2a =
-4


We'll divide by
2:


a =
-2


We'll sbstitute a = -2 in
(3):


a+b = 3


-2 + b =
3


b =
5


Thereminder R(x)
is:


R(x) = -2x^2 + 5x +
1

Comment on the setting and character of &quot;The Fall of the House of Usher.&quot;How does setting act as a character?

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
