In this exercise, we will prove the Division Algorithm for polynomials. Let R[x] be the ring of polynomials with real coefficients. For the purposes of this exercise, extend the definition of degree by deg(0) = −1. The statement to be proved is: Let f(x),g(x) ∈ R[x][x] be polynomials with g(x) ? 0. Then there exist unique polynomials q(x) and r(x) such that f (x) = g(x)q(x) + r(x) and deg(r(x)) < deg(g(x)). Fix general f (x) and g(x). (a) Let...
