Question

If the polynomial p(x) is divided by another polynomial 2x-1, the remainder comes out to be (ax + b) then the value of a and b is (1 Point) p(x) = 14x3 - 5x2 + 9x - 1. (a) a=4, b=0 (b) a=4, b=6 (c) a=0, b=4 (d) a=0,b=2​

Answer 1

Answer:

When a polynomial p(x) is divided by 2x + 1, it is not possible to have the remainder as (x – 1), because the degree of the remainder can not be equal to the degree of the divisor. Here, degree of (2x + 1) is 1, degree of (x - 1) is 1.
