(x-2)(x2).

Explanation:

We know that,

The Dividend=(The Divisor)(The Quotient)+The Remainder.

So, if the Divisor Polynomial is p(x)p(x), then,

:. (2x^2-7x+9)=(2x-3)*p(x)+3.

:. 2x^2-7x+9-3=(2x-3)*p(x),

i.e., 2x^2-7x+6=(2x-3)*p(x).

:. p(x)=(2x^2-7x+6)/(2x-3),

={(x-2)cancel((2x-3))}/cancel((2x-3)).

rArr" The Divisor Poly. is "(x-2).
