I think you got me wrong.Anyway is it correct? In your opinion.
x 2 + 1 d i v i d e s x 1 0 + 1 . 7 x 3 2 + 5 x 2 2 + 3 x 1 2 + x 2 = 4 x 3 2 + ( x 1 0 + 1 ) × k ( x ) .

Its easy to put x = i in the equation and we get the answer as 4
It's really nice to also reply to other solutions when writing yours down.Nice solution anyways.Good job.
x becomes (i)... now if the power of x is divisible by 4... its positive else its negative......... therefore it come 7-5+3-1

That was a really interesting question!
Solution:
Using division algorithm for polynomials we have:
f ( x ) = K ( x ) Q ( x ) + R ( x )
Plugging K ( x ) = x 2 − 1 we have ,
f ( x ) = ( x 2 − 1 ) Q ( x ) + R ( x )
Now if for some a (which I don't care is an imaginary number or not) we had a 2 − 1 = 0 then f ( a ) = R ( a )
So simply plug x 2 = − 1 in f ( x ) to get the desired result:
f ( x ) = 7 ( x 2 ) 1 6 + 5 ( x 2 ) 1 1 + 3 ( x 2 ) 6 + ( x 2 ) = 7 − 5 + 3 − 1 = 4
