If a fifth degree polynomial is divided by a quadratic polynomial then find out the possible degree of the quotient and the remainder.

Dear Student,

Please find below the solution to the asked query:

We know : Degree of quotient if added to degree of divisor , We get degree of dividend , So 

Here , Degree of quotient =  3 (  As we know degree of quadratic equation is 2 )

And

Degree of remainder is less than degree of divisor , So degree of remainder could be 1 or 0 .

Hope this information will clear your doubts about topic.
