The description for #1 is wrong. Review the Remainder Theorem. A nonzero remainder means that the factor is not one of the root factors for the function.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You can perform the polynomial division for \"%28x%5E3%2Bmx%5E2%2Bnx%2B6%29%2F%28x-1%29\", very difficult to try to show here. The expression for the remainder will be \"m%2Bn%2B7\". The quotient without the remainder will be \"x%5E2%2B%28m%2B1%29x%2B%28m%2Bn%2B1%29\".\r
