Chapter A.4, Problem 3AYU

To determine

To find: True or false of the given.

Answer to Problem 3AYU

True.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The divisor of a polynomial of degree 1 whose leading coefficient is 1.

Calculation:

Using the synthetic division, the divisor must be a polynomial of degree 1. The exponent (on $x$) must be 1.

So the divisor is always a polynomial of degree 1 whose leading coefficient is 1.

Therefore it’s a true statement.
