Remainder Theorem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

As requested by @ParthKohli, \[\begin{align} f(x)&=a_0+a_1x+a_2x^2+\dots+a_nx^n\\ g(x)&=b_0+b_1x+b_2x^2+\dots+b_mx^m\\ g(x)(x-a)&=(b_0+b_1x+b_2x^2+\dots+b_mx^m)(x-a)\\ &=b_0x+b_1x^2+b_2x^3+\dots +b_mx^{m+1}\\ &-(ab_0+ab_1x+ab_2x^2+\dots+ab_mx^m)\\ &=-ab_0+(b_0-ab_1)x+(b_1-ab_2)x^2\\ &+(b_2-ab_3)x^3+\dots+(b_{m-1}-ab_{m})x^{m}+b_mx^{m+1}\\ \text{Let } b_{i-1}-ab_{i}&=a_i \text{ where } i \in \{0,1,2,\dots,m\}\\ \text{Define } r(x)&=b_{-1}\\ \text{Then } g(x)(x-a)+r(x)&=(b_{-1}-ab_0)+(b_0-ab_1)x+(b_1-ab_2)x^2\\ &+(b_2-ab_3)x^3+\dots+(b_{m-1}-ab_{m})x^{m}+b_mx^{m+1}\\ \text{Since } b_{i-1}-ab_{i}&=a_i\\ \text{We can conclude }. . .\\ g(x)(x-a)+r(x)&=a_0+a_1x+a_2x^2+\dots+a_nx^n\\ &=f(x)\\ x=a &\Rightarrow r(a)=f(a). \end{align}\]
