多项式是由变量和系数组成的代数表达式。变量有时也称为不确定。我们可以使用多项式执行任何运算,无论是乘法,除法,减法还是加法。具有一个变量的多项式示例为x 2 + x – 8,y 3 + y 2 – 52,z 2 +64
多项式一词源自希腊语“ poly ”(意为“许多”)和“ nominal ”(意为“项”),因此统称为“许多项”。多项式不能具有无限项。
剩余定理
令g(x)为1或大于1的多项式,令b为任何实数。如果将g(x)除以线性多项式x – b,则余数为p(b) 。
证明
令g(x)为1或大于1的多项式。假设g(x)除以(x – b),则商为q(x),余数为r(x),即,
g(x) = (x – b) q(x) + r(x) ……(1)
由于x – b的次数为1,而r(x)的次数小于x – b的次数,因此r(x)的次数为0。这意味着r(x)是恒定的。因此,我们可以将等式(1)写为
g(x) = (x – b) q(x) + r ……(2)
特别地,如果x = b,则方程式(2)变为
p(b) = (b – b) q(b) + r => r
剩余定理的样本问题
问题1:当g(x)= x 4 – x 3 + x 2 – 2x + 1除以x – 2时,求出余数。
解决方案:
Zero of x – 2 is 2, so as per the remainder theorem
Remainder, in this case, will be g(2).
So,
g(2) = (2)4 – (2)3 + (2)2 + 2(2) + 1 = 17
问题2:找到多项式x 2 – 5x + 4的根
解决方案:
The approach of solving such questions include to choose a number in such a manner, that putting it to use, will yield a zero remainder.
f(x) = x2 – 5x + 4
f(4) = 42 – 5(4) + 4
f(4) = 20 – 20 = 0
So, (x – 4) must be a factor of x2 – 5x + 4
问题3:将t 3 – 2t 2 + 4t + 5除以t – 1时,求出余数。
解决方案:
Since, here it is already given that we need to find the remainder when the given quotient is divided by t – 1. So, accordingly we will put 1 in place of x, to solve and get the remainder.
Here, p(t) = t3 – 2t2 + 4t + 5, and the zero of t – 1 is 1
∴ g(1) = (1)3 – 2(1)2 + 4 + 5 = 8
By the Remainder Theorem, 8 is the remainder when t3 – 2t2 + 4t + 5 is divided by t – 1
问题4:找出x 3时的余数– x 2 + 2除以x – 2。
解决方案:
Here, we will put x = 2 in the given quotient to find the remainder
2^3 – 2^2 + 2
= 8 – 4 + 2
= 6
By the Remainder Theorem, 6 is the remainder when x3 – x2 + 2 is divided by x – 2.
问题5:通过x 3 – x 2 – 4的除法运算得到0作为余数。
解决方案:
We will use Hit & Trial method to find the answer,
Clearly putting x = 2, will give zero as remainder.
So, this will be the answer to yield a zero remainder on division by x – 2.
