  1. Answer:

    GIVEN :

    The expression is is divisible by

    TO FIND :

    The values of a and b by solving the given polynomials by Long Division method

    SOLUTION :

    Now divide the given polynomial

    x^4+x^3+8x^2+ax-bx

    +ax−b is divisible by x^2+1x

    +1

    x^2+1x

    +1 can be written as x^2+0x+1x

    (a-1)x-b-7

    _________

    The quotient is and remainder is (a-1)x-b-7

    Since the the polynomial is completely divided by so that the remainder is zero

    ∴ (a-1)x-b-7=0

    (a-1)x-b-7=0 can be written as

    (a-1)x+(-b-7)=0x+0

    Now equating the coefficients of x and constant we get

    a-1=0 and -b-7=0

    ∴ a=1 and b=-7

    ∴ The values of a and b is 1 and -7 respectively.
