Note that in step-by-step mode, synthetic division is

 

shown, with each polynomial represented as the list of its

 

coefficients in descending order of power.

REMAINDER

Returns the remainder from the division of the two

 

polynomials, A(X) and B(X), divided in decreasing order

 

by exponent.

 

 

 

 

 

Example

 

 

 

 

 

 

Typing:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

REMAINDER(X3 – 1, X2 – 1)

 

gives:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

x – 1

TCHEBYCHEFF

For n > 0, TCHEBYCHEFF returns the polynomial Tn such

 

that:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tn(x) = cos(n·arccos(x))

 

 

 

For n 0, we have:

– 2k

 

Tn(x) = C2kn (x2 – 1)k xn

 

 

 

k = 0

 

 

 

 

For n 0 we also have:

For n 1, we have:

Tn + 1(x) = 2xTn(x) – Tn – 1(x)

If n < 0, TCHEBYCHEFF returns the 2nd-species

Tchebycheff polynomial:
