:
: if we consider the polynomial with a=-1/3 and b=25/3 then we have
: (-1/3)x3 - x2 - x + (25/3)
: 1. divide by (x-1) and the result is
: (-1/3)x2 - (4/3)x - (7/3) + 6/(x-1) ...[i.e. remainder of 6]
: 2. divide by (x+2) and the result is
: (-1/3)x2 - (1/3)x - (1/3) + 9/(x-1) ...[i.e. remainder of 9]
Yes - this is how I got to (-190/3) / 4 = -52/3 + 6/4.
I'll just have to chew on it for a while.
