$x^2-x-1=0$

$R(x)=\frac{{{x^{16}} – 1}}{{{x^8} + 2{x^7}}} = ?$

$R(x)=\frac{{{x^{16}} – 1}}{{{x^8} + 2{x^7}}} = \frac{{({x^2} – 1)({x^2} + 1)({x^4} + 1)({x^8} + 1)}}{{{x^7}(x + 2)}}$

$\because {x^2} – x – 1 = 0,{x^2} – 1 = x$

$R(x) = \frac{{x({x^2} + 1)({x^4} + 1)({x^8} + 1)}}{{{x^7}(x + 2)}} = \frac{{({x^2} + 1)({x^4} + 1)({x^8} + 1)}}{{{x^6}(x + 2)}}$

$\because {x^2} – x – 1 = 0,{x^2} = x + 1$ Continue reading $x^2-x-1=0$
