Answer: 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The factor theorem says that a polynomial has a factor if and only if it is a root.
Given: p(x) is a non zero polynomial such that , where k is a real number .
It means is a root of the p(x)
By factor theorem, is a factor of the polynomial, which is a polynomial itself.
Here degree of g(x) is 1.
But g(x) satisfies all the properties for p(x), so p(x) can be
Hence, the least degree of p(x)=1
