x^3 +x^2 −4x +5 =(x−a)Q(x) +r(x) x^3 +3x −7 =(x−a)V(x) +r(x) ⇒ r(a)= a^3 +a^2 −4a +5 =a^3 +3a −7 ⇒ a^2 −4a +5 −3a +7 =0 ⇒a^2 −7a +12 =0 Δ =49 −48 =1 ⇒ a_1 = ((7+1)/2) =4 a_2 =((7−1)/2) =3 .

a^3 +a^(2 ^ ) −4a+5=a^3 +3a−7 a^2 −7a+12=0 (a−3)(a−4)=0 a=3 or a=4
$${a}^{\mathrm{3}} \:+{a}^{\mathrm{2}\overset{} {\:}} −\mathrm{4}{a}+\mathrm{5}={a}^{\mathrm{3}} +\mathrm{3}{a}−\mathrm{7} \\ $$$${a}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{7}{a}+\mathrm{12}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\left({a}−\mathrm{3}\right)\left({a}−\mathrm{4}\right)=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${a}=\mathrm{3}\:{or}\:{a}=\mathrm{4} \\ $$

let remainder =R ⇒ a^3 +a^2 −4a+5=a^3 +3a−7=R ⇒ a^2 −7a+12=0 or (a−3)(a−4)=0 ⇒ a=3,4 .
$${let}\:{remainder}\:={R} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:\:{a}^{\mathrm{3}} +{a}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{4}{a}+\mathrm{5}={a}^{\mathrm{3}} +\mathrm{3}{a}−\mathrm{7}={R} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:\:{a}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{7}{a}+\mathrm{12}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${or}\:\:\:\:\:\left({a}−\mathrm{3}\right)\left({a}−\mathrm{4}\right)=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:\:\:{a}=\mathrm{3},\mathrm{4}\:. \\ $$
