Question

when a polynomial p(x) is divided by (2x-1) , is it possible to have (x-1) as a reminder? justify your answer​

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
