Question

can x-7 be the remainder on division of a polynomial by 7x+2

Answer 1

yes x-7 can be the remainder of a polynominal 7x+2

Answer 2

Answer: No x-7 can not be the remainder on division of a polynomial by 7x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know f(x) = g(x) q(x) + r(x)

where f(x) is the polynomial, g(x) is the divisor, q(x) is the quotient and  r(x) is the remainder

where degree of r(x) < deg of q(x)

In this case degree of x-7 and the degree 7x+2  is equal which is one

Therefore we can proceed further

Hence,x-7 can not be the remainder on division of a polynomial by 7x+2
