Exercise 1.2.1
1. (a) Define polynomial of one variable.
Solution:
A polynomial in one variable is any expression of the type
where is non-negative integer and are real numbers, called coefficients. is called the leading term of the polynomial. is degree of the polynomial.
(b) If and represent polynomial, quotient, divisor and remainder respectively. Write the relation among them.
Solution:
We know, Polynomial = Divisor x Quotient + Remainder

4. For the function use long division to determine whether each of the following is a factor of or not.
(a)
Solution:
Here, remainder is 0. So is a factor of
(b)
Solution:
Since, remainder is 0, is a factor of
(c)
Solution:
As remainder , is not factor of
(d)
Solution:
As remainder , is not a factor of .
(e)
Solution:
As remainder , is a factor of
