Question
Quotient theorem
The quotient of two polynomials P(a) and
S(x), discarding any polynomial
remainder
Relation between polynomial, quotient and
remainder is given by
P(2) = S(x) * Q(x) + R(2)
where Q(2) is the quotient and R(2) is
the remainder
For ex:
P(x) = x4 + x3 + x2 + x + 1
S(x) = x2 – 1
Then quotient and remainder are
Q(x) = x2 + x + 2
R(x) = 2x + 3
