this is an example how to divide a polynomial function...
Example
Divide
x4 + 3x2 - 5
x2 + 4x
Solution
We first write in long division form
Next decide what we need to multiply x2 by to get x4. Since
(x2)(x2) = x4
we can write
Next, we multiply x2 + 7x and x2.
Now subtract to get and bring down the 3x2 to get
We repeat this process until the degree of the remainder is less than the degree of the denominator.

when x2006 is divided by x2-1 then remainder is x2004 by using this method ...
