 Page 4 / 6

## Verbal

If division of a polynomial by a binomial results in a remainder of zero, what can be conclude?

The binomial is a factor of the polynomial.

If a polynomial of degree $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}n\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ is divided by a binomial of degree 1, what is the degree of the quotient?
