What is the difference between Remainder Theorem and Factor Theorem?
Answers
Answer:
In algebra, the factor theorem is a theorem linking factors and zeros of a polynomial. It is a special case of the polynomial remainder theorem. The factor theorem states that a polynomial f(x) has a factor if and only if f(k)=0.
In algebra, the polynomial remainder theorem or little Bézout's theorem is an application of Euclidean division of polynomials. It states that the remainder of the division of a polynomial f(x) by a linear polynomial
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor Theorem is a special case of Remainder Theorem. Remainder Theorem states that if polynomial ƒ(x) is divided by a linear binomial of the for (x - a) then the remainder will be ƒ(a). Factor Theorem states that if ƒ(a) = 0 in this case, then the binomial (x - a) is a factor of polynomial ƒ(x).
