Explanation:
Using some
algebraic manipulation by substituting the divisor into the numerator as a factor.
2v2(2v−3)+(6v2+6v2)−8v−122v−3
=2v2(2v−3)+6v(2v−3)+(+18v−8v)−122v−3
=2v2(2v−3)+6v(2v−3)+5(2v−3)+(+15−12)2v−3
⇒4v3+6v2−8v−12=2v2+6v+5+32v−3 Since the remainder of the division is not zero.
Then 2v−3 is not a factor of the polynomial
