Determine the reminder of the division of polinomials P/Q P=(x+1)^10+(x+2)^10 Q=(x+1)(x+2)

We'll apply division with
reminder.


P=Q1*Q+R


The degree
of the the reminder has to be smaller than the degree of Q. In our case, Q has the
second degree, so the reminder is a first degree
polynomial.


R=aX+b


First,
let's find out the roots of
Q.


Q=(x+1)(x+2)


(x+1)(x+2) =
0


We'll put each factor as
zero.


(x+1) = 0


We'll add -1
both sides:


x = -1


x+2 =
0


We'll subtract 2 both
sides:


x = -2


Now, we'll
substitute the roots of Q, into the expression of division with
reminder.


P(-1) = Q(-1)*Q1+a*(-1)+b, where
P(-1)=1


But Q(-1)=0,
so:


1=0-a+b


-a+b=1
(1)


P(-2) = Q(-2)*Q2+a*(-2)+b, where
P(-2)=1


1=0-2a+b


-2a+b=1 
(2)


From (1) and (2), we'll
have:


-a+b=-2a+b


We'll
eliminate like
terms:


-a=-2a


a=0, so 0+b=1,
b=1


R=a*X+b


R=0*X+1


R=1

Comment on the setting and character of "The Fall of the House of Usher."How does setting act as a character?

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
