Question

can (x-7) be the remainder on the division if polynomial p(x) by (7x+2) justify your answer?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

No ,because degree of remainder is always less than degree of divisor.

Answer 2

Answer:

(x-7) should not be a remainder of p(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given polynomial p(x)

divisor = 7x+2,

Degree of the divisor = 1,

Remainder = x-7

Degree of the remainder = 1

/*

We know that,

Degree of the remainder is always less than the degree of the divisor .

*/

But ,

Here ,

Degree of the divisor = Degree of the remainder .

Therefore,.

(x-7) should not be a remainder of p(x)
