Let r(x) be the remainder when the polynomial x¹³⁵+x¹²⁵-x¹⁸⁵+x⁵+1 is divided by x³-x . Then
Options
- Ar(x) is the zero polynomial
- Br(x) is a nonzero constant
- Cdegree of r(x) is one
- Ddegree of r(x) is two
Correct answer
C. degree of r(x) is one
Step-by-step solution
x ¹³⁵+ x ¹²⁵- x ¹¹⁵+ x ⁵+1= k ( x ³- x )+ A x ²+ Bx + C put x =0 C =1 Put x =13= A + B +1A+B=2 .........(i) put x=-1-1=A-B+1A-B=-2 .........(ii) (i) +(i i)A=0B=2
