Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related CAL2.35 Rational Functions and Polynomial Division skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
A student must divide P(x)=-3x8 + 7x7 + 12x6 - 22x5 - 6x4 - 14x3 + 15x2 - 4x by D(x)=x4 - 4x2 - 2x - 3 before integrating P(x)/D(x). Which pair is correct with deg r < deg D?
Aq(x)=-3x4 + 7x3 - 1, r(x)=-7x3 - 11x2 + 6x + 3
Bq(x)=-3x4 + 7x3, r(x)=-x4 + 7x3 + 15x2 - 4x
Cq(x)=-3x4 + 7x3 - 1, r(x)=7x3 + 11x2 - 6x - 3
Dq(x)=-3x4 + 7x3 - 2, r(x)=x4 + 7x3 + 7x2 - 8x - 6
Solution & Explanation:Polynomial division gives q(x)=-3x4 + 7x3 - 1 and r(x)=7x3 + 11x2 - 6x - 3 because (x4 - 4x2 - 2x - 3)(-3x4 + 7x3 - 1)+(7x3 + 11x2 - 6x - 3) expands to -3x8 + 7x7 + 12x6 - 22x5 - 6x4 - 14x3 + 15x2 - 4x. The remainder has degree 3, which is less than the divisor degree 4, so the integrand becomes -3x4 + 7x3 - 1 + (7x3 + 11x2 - 6x - 3)/(x4 - 4x2 - 2x - 3). A common mistake is to stop with an algebraic identity whose remainder still has the same degree as the divisor, or to reverse the remainder's sign.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
To split ∫ [(9x9 - 15x8 + 30x7 - x6 - 25x5 + 30x4 - 16x3 + 8x2 - x - 1)/(3x4 - 2x3 + 1)] dx into a polynomial part plus a proper rational part, choose q(x) and r(x) with P=Dq+r and deg r
Aq(x)=3x5 - 3x4 + 8x3 + 5x2 - 6x + 7, r(x)=-10x3 + 3x2 + 5x - 8
Bq(x)=3x5 - 3x4 + 8x3 + 5x2 - 6x + 6, r(x)=3x4 - 12x3 + 3x2 + 5x - 7
Cq(x)=3x5 - 3x4 + 8x3 + 5x2 - 6x + 8, r(x)=-3x4 - 8x3 + 3x2 + 5x - 9
Dq(x)=3x5 - 3x4 + 8x3 + 5x2 - 6x + 7, r(x)=10x3 - 3x2 - 5x + 8
Solution & Explanation:Polynomial division gives q(x)=3x5 - 3x4 + 8x3 + 5x2 - 6x + 7 and r(x)=-10x3 + 3x2 + 5x - 8 because (3x4 - 2x3 + 1)(3x5 - 3x4 + 8x3 + 5x2 - 6x + 7)+(-10x3 + 3x2 + 5x - 8) expands to 9x9 - 15x8 + 30x7 - x6 - 25x5 + 30x4 - 16x3 + 8x2 - x - 1. The remainder has degree 3, which is less than the divisor degree 4, so the integrand becomes 3x5 - 3x4 + 8x3 + 5x2 - 6x + 7 + (-10x3 + 3x2 + 5x - 8)/(3x4 - 2x3 + 1). A common mistake is to stop with an algebraic identity whose remainder still has the same degree as the divisor, or to reverse the remainder's sign.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
The rational function (8x8 - 8x7 - 20x6 + 8x5 + 2x4 - 16x3 + 4x2 + 39x - 23)/(2x3 - 2x2 - 5x + 2) is improper. Which quotient-remainder pair with deg r < deg D should be used before integration?
Aq(x)=4x5 + x - 8, r(x)=2x3 - 7x2 - 3x - 7
Bq(x)=4x5 + x - 7, r(x)=-5x2 + 2x - 9
Cq(x)=4x5 + x - 6, r(x)=-2x3 - 3x2 + 7x - 11
Dq(x)=4x5 + x - 7, r(x)=5x2 - 2x + 9
Solution & Explanation:Polynomial division gives q(x)=4x5 + x - 7 and r(x)=-5x2 + 2x - 9 because (2x3 - 2x2 - 5x + 2)(4x5 + x - 7)+(-5x2 + 2x - 9) expands to 8x8 - 8x7 - 20x6 + 8x5 + 2x4 - 16x3 + 4x2 + 39x - 23. The remainder has degree 2, which is less than the divisor degree 3, so the integrand becomes 4x5 + x - 7 + (-5x2 + 2x - 9)/(2x3 - 2x2 - 5x + 2). A common mistake is to stop with an algebraic identity whose remainder still has the same degree as the divisor, or to reverse the remainder's sign.
