Proof
The polynomial remainder theorem follows from the definition of polynomial long division; denoting the divisor, quotient and remainder by, respectively, and, polynomial long division gives a solution of the equation
where the degree of is less than that of .
If we take as the divisor, giving the degree of as 0, i.e. :
Setting we obtain:

Famous quotes containing the word proof:
“a meek humble Man of modest sense,
Who preaching peace does practice continence;
Whose pious life’s a proof he does believe,
Mysterious truths, which no Man can conceive.”
—John Wilmot, 2d Earl Of Rochester (1647–1680)
“The thing with Catholicism, the same as all religions, is that it teaches what should be, which seems rather incorrect. This is “what should be.” Now, if you’re taught to live up to a “what should be” that never existed—only an occult superstition, no proof of this “should be”Mthen you can sit on a jury and indict easily, you can cast the first stone, you can burn Adolf Eichmann, like that!”
—Lenny Bruce (1925–1966)
“The insatiable thirst for everything which lies beyond, and which life reveals, is the most living proof of our immortality.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
