give examples of polynomials p(x),g(x),q(x) and r(x),which satisfy the division algorithm and (1) deg p(x) =deg q(x) (2) deg q(x)=deg r(x) (3) deg r(x)=0
Answers
(i) deg p(x) = deg q(x)
Degree of dividend is equal to degree of quotient, only when the divisor is a constant term.
Let us take an example, 3x2+3x+3 is a polynomial to be divided by 3.
So, (3x2+3x+3)/3 = x2+x+1 = q(x)
Thus, you can see, the degree of quotient is equal to the degree of dividend.
Hence, division algorithm is satisfied here.
(ii) deg q(x) = deg r(x)
Let us take an example , p(x)=x2+x is a polynomial to be divided by g(x)=x.
So, (x2+x)/x = x+1 = q(x)
Also, remainder, r(x) = 0
Thus, you can see, the degree of quotient is equal to the degree of remainder.
Hence, division algorithm is satisfied here.
(iii) deg r(x) = 0
The degree of remainder is 0 only when the remainder left after division algorithm is constant.
Let us take an example, p(x) = x2+1 is a polynomial to be divided by g(x)=x.
So,( x2+1)/x= x=q(x)
And r(x)=1
Clearly, the degree of remainder here is 0.
Hence, division algorithm is satisfied here.
