# NCERT solutions for class 10 Maths chapter 2 Polynomials (Exercise 2.3)

## Ex 2.3 Question 1.

Divide the polynomial p(x) by the polynomial g(x) and find the quotient and remainder in each of the following:
(i) p(x) = x3 – 3x2 + 5x – 3, g(x) = x2 – 2
(ii) p(x) = x4 – 3x2 + 4x + 5, g(x) = x2 + 1 – x
(iii) p(x) = x4– 5x + 6, g(x) = 2 – x2
Solution:

## Ex 2.3 Question 2.
