What is the remainder when a polynomial p(x) is divided by cx - d?

p(-d/c)

p(cx)

p(d/c) (correct)

p(c/d)

Given a polynomial p(x) and a divisor cx - d, what is the general form of the polynomial division?

p(x) = (cx - d) · R + Q(x)

p(x) = (cx + d) · Q(x) - R

p(x) = (cx + d) · R - Q(x)

p(x) = (cx - d) · Q(x) + R (correct)

What is the degree of the quotient Q(x) when dividing a polynomial p(x) by a linear polynomial cx - d?

One degree less than p(x) (correct)

One degree more than p(x)

Two degrees less than p(x)

The same degree as p(x)
