If A(x) = B(x)Q(x) then R(x) =

0 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm with hartnn. 0 seems the only logical answer here.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, lets be clear, i have an exam after tomorrow, and i have literally no idea about this 0.0 how did you get to this answer? i really need help!

hartnn (hartnn):

A(x) = B(x)Q(x) here, Q(x) is quotient polynomial when A(x) is divided by B(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A R(x) term doesn't appear in the equation, so it must be zero.

hartnn (hartnn):

generally, when dividing 2 polynomials, we have A(x) = B(x)Q(x) +R(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just like if you write 2x^2-5x in the form ax^2+bx+c, c=0.

hartnn (hartnn):

here R(x) is not present, hence 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ahh, okay! Thank you guyss sooooo much :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol, i don't know to whom to give the medal, so i just fanned you guys :P thank you really :)
