Answer

The quotient will be ${{x}^{2n}}-{{x}^{n}}+1$.

Work Step by Step

We have to find the quotient; let us divide the dividend by the divisor: ${{x}^{n}}+1\overset{{{x}^{2n}}-{{x}^{n}}+1}{\overline{\left){\begin{align} & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,{{x}^{3n}}+1 \\ & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,{{x}^{3n}}+{{x}^{2n}} \\ & \frac{-\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,-}{\begin{align} & \,\,\,-{{x}^{2n}}+1 \\ & \frac{\begin{align} & \,\,-{{x}^{2n}}-{{x}^{n}} \\ & \,\,+\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,+ \\ \end{align}}{\begin{align} & \,\,\,{{x}^{n}}+1 \\ & \,\,\,{{x}^{n}}+1 \\ & \frac{-\,\,\,\,\,-}{0} \\ \end{align}} \\ \end{align}} \\ \end{align}}\right.}}$ Therefore, the quotient will be ${{x}^{2n}}-{{x}^{n}}+1$.
