if p(x)is a polynomial of a degree 4 and g(x) is a polynomial of a degree2 then degree of reminder polynomial r(x) cannot be a degree

In mathematics, the degree of a polynomial is the highest of the degrees of the polynomial's monomials (individual terms) with non-zero coefficients. The degree of a term is the sum of the exponents of the variables that appear in it, and thus is a non-negative integer. The term order has been used as a synonym of degree but, nowadays, may refer to several other concepts (see order of a polynomial (disambiguation)). For example, the polynomial {\displaystyle 7x^{2}y^{3}+4x-9,}{\displaystyle 7x^{2}y^{3}+4x-9,} which can also be expressed as {\displaystyle 7x^{2}y^{3}+4x^{1}y^{0}-9x^{0}y^{0},}{\displaystyle 7x^{2}y^{3}+4x^{1}y^{0}-9x^{0}y^{0},} has three terms. The first term has a degree of 5 (the sum of the powers 2 and 3), the second term has a degree of 1, and the last term has a degree of 0. Therefore, the polynomial has a degree of 5, which is the highest degree of any term.
To determine the degree of a polynomial that is not in standard form (for example:{\displaystyle (x+1)^{2}-(x-1)^{2}}(x+1)^{2}-(x-1)^{2}), one has to put it first in standard form by expanding the products (by distributivity) and combining the like terms; for example {\displaystyle (x+1)^{2}-(x-1)^{2}=4x}(x+1)^{2}-(x-1)^{2}=4x is of degree 1, even though each summand has degree 2. However, this is not needed when the polynomial is expressed as a product of polynomials in standard form, because the degree of a product is the sum of the degrees of the factors.
