for some quotient polynomial and some number remainder .
(If , then is divisible ).
for some quotient polynomial and some number remainder .
(If , then is divisible ).

Substituting, we get



Since ,

That means that
when you divide by the quadratic polynomial ,
the quotient is ,
and the remainder is the linear polynomial .
Since is divisible by ,
must be zero for all values of , meaning that .
