Answer

See the explanation.

Work Step by Step

-The division algorithm says when a number 'a' is divided by a number 'b' gives the quotient to be 'q' and the remainder to be 'r' then a = bq + r where 0 ≤ r < b -The division algorithm for polynomials says, if p(x) and g(x) are the two polynomials, where g(x) ≠ 0, we can write the division of polynomials as: p(x) = q(x) × g(x) + r(x), where the degree of r(x) < degree of g(x) and p(x) is the dividend g(x) is the divisor q(x) is the quotient r(x) is the remainder
