If we have two univariate polynomials $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ such that

$gcd(f(x),g(x))=1$

then we know there exist two other polynomials $a(x)$ and $b(x)$ such that $a(x)f(x)+b(x)g(x)=1$. For example, if $f(x)=x^3−1$ and $g(x)=x^2+2$, then we can set

$a(x)=\frac{2x−1}{9}$, $b(x)=\frac{−2x^2+x+4}{9}$

Here the polynomials $a(x)$ and $b(x)$ are known as Bezout polynomials and they can be found using the extended Euclidean algorithm, which I know how to do using pen and paper, but not in Maple.

So my question is: in Maple, is there a way, given $f(x)$ and $g(x)$, to solve for $a(x)$ and $b(x)$?
