Dividing a third degree polynomial in x by a first degree polynomial in x results in a second degree polynomial, possibly with a remainder.

I can't answer your question because I don't know what it means:

"The quotient of a third-degree polynomial in x and a first degree polynomial in x *** WHEN EQUATED TO ZERO (?) *** yields a quadratic function"
