Check whether the first polynomial is a factor of the second polynomial by applying the division algorithm:
(i) ![]()
(ii)![]()
![]()
(iii) ![]()
![]()
(i)
and ![]()
Degree of
; therefore degree of
and degree of remainder is of degree 1 or less,
Let
and ![]()
By applying division algorithm:
Dividend = Quotient× Divisor + Remainder
![]()
On substituting values in the above relation we get,
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
On comparing coefficients we get,
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
On solving above equations we get,
,
,
,
, ![]()
On substituting these values for ![]()
![]()
Since remainder is zero, therefore ![]()
