If a polynomial is divided by a linear divisor, the remainder is always a:

Class 10Division AlgorithmAlgebra — Polynomials
  • AConstant
  • BLinear polynomial
  • CQuadratic polynomial
  • DZero polynomial only

Step-by-Step Solution

deg r < deg g = 1, so deg r = 0, i.e. the remainder is a constant (possibly zero).
Answer: A) Constant
