x2+9x+66+437x165x210x+25

Explanation:

We'll first want to rewrite the polynomials as single expressions.

(x3+x+3)(x1)=x4x3+x2x+3x3

x4x3+x2x+3x3=x4x3+x2+2x3

(x5)2=(x5)(x5)=x210x+25

Now we need to use long division to find our answer.

Step 1: x2 goes into x4, x2 times, so we need to multiply our divisor, x210x+25, by x2, and subtract that from the dividend, x4x3+x2+2x3.

x2(x210x+25)=x410x3+25x2

(x4x3+x2+2x3)(x410x3+25x2)=9x324x2+2x3

Step 2: x2 goes into 9x3, 9x times. Repeat step 1 with these values.

9x(x210x+25)=9x390x2+225x

(9x324x2+2x3)(9x390x2+225x)=66x2223x3

Step 3: x2 into 66x2, 66 times. Repeat step 1.

66(x210x+25)=66x2660x+1650

(66x2223x3)(66x2660x+1650)=437x1653

Our three divisors are then added together to find our value, x2+9x+66. However, we have remainder of 437x162, so our answer is x2+9x+66+437x165x210x+25
