Math Problem Statement

If f(α) = α^4 + 5α^3 - 3α^2 and g(α) = 5α^2 - α + 2 are two polynomials in ℤ₁₁(α), then find q(α) and r(α) by using the Division algorithm.

Solution

The problem asks us to divide the polynomial f(α)=α4+5α33α2f(\alpha) = \alpha^4 + 5\alpha^3 - 3\alpha^2 by g(α)=5α2α+2g(\alpha) = 5\alpha^2 - \alpha + 2 using the division algorithm to find the quotient q(α)q(\alpha) and remainder r(α)r(\alpha).

Let's apply the polynomial division process.

We will divide f(α)f(\alpha) by g(α)g(\alpha) and express f(α)f(\alpha) as: f(α)=g(α)q(α)+r(α)f(\alpha) = g(\alpha) \cdot q(\alpha) + r(\alpha) where the degree of the remainder r(α)r(\alpha) will be less than the degree of g(α)g(\alpha).

I'll now proceed with the division process to compute the quotient and remainder.
