  1. A \(x^2+4 x-2\)
  2. B \(x^2-4 x+2\)
  3. C \(x^2+4 x+2\)
  4. D \(x^2-4 x-2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(x^2-4 x-2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

On dividing \(x^3-5 x^2+2 x+7\) with \(x-1\), we have \(x-1) \frac{x^2-4 x-2}{x^3-5 x^2+2 x+7}\) \(x^3-x^2\) \(\frac{-+}{-4 x^2+2 x+7}\) \(-4 x^2+4 x\) \(\frac{+-}{-2 x+7}\) \(-2 x+2\) \(\frac{+-}{5}\) \(\therefore\) The required quotient is \(\left(x^2-4 x-2\right)\) Hence,…
