Let f(x) = 5x4 + 3x3 + 1 and g(x) =3x2 + 2x + 1 in Z7[x]. Determine the quotient and the remainder upon dividing f(x) by g(x).
It needs to be applied to Z7. My guess is we need to use mod 7 with the quotient and the remainder?
I got (5/3)x2 – (1/9)x – (13/27) as the quotient.
(29/27)x + (40/27) as the remainder. This is not the correct answer as it states in the back of the book. The back of the book has the following:
Quotient: 4x2 + 3x + 6 and remainder 6x + 2
