    The document summarizes the Remainder Theorem and Factor Theorem for polynomials. The Remainder Theorem states that when a polynomial is divided by a linear polynomial x - a, the remainder is equal to the value of the polynomial when evaluated at a. The Factor Theorem similarly states that if a polynomial P(x) equals 0 when evaluated at a, then x - a is a factor of P(x). Both theorems relate the remainder or factors of a polynomial to its value when a variable is substituted.

    Long Division method to divide two polynomials

    To divide one polynomial by another, follow the steps given below.

    arrange the terms of the dividend and the divisor in the decreasing order of their
    degrees. 
    To obtain the first term of the quotient, divide the highest degree term of the dividend by
    the highest degree term of the divisor. Then carry out the division process.
    The remainder of the previous division becomes the dividend for the next step. Repeat
    this process until the degree of the remainder is less than the degree of the divisor.

    An example of the use of long division method to divide two polynomials is given below.   

    Dividing one polynomial by another polynomial.

    Remainder Theorem

    When a polynomial f (x) of degree greater than or equal to one is divided by a linear polynomial
    x − a the remainder is equal to the value of f (a).

    If f (a) = 0 then x − a is a factor of the polynomial f (x).


     

    Factor Theorem

    If P (x) is a polynomial of degree greater than or equal to one and a is any real number then 
    x − a is a factor of P (x) if P (a) = 0.
