Answer 1

Thank you for getting in touch with us for the answer of your question. On the division of the polynomial p (y) by y-5, y+1 can not be its remainder. Because of the reason that the degree or the highest power of dividend and the remainder can not be same. I hope this makes sense to you and answers your query well. I hope this answer will be helpful for you.
