The complex numbers 49<br />

Afterwards one must sum all the obta<strong>in</strong>ed expressions, collect<strong>in</strong>g<br />

the monomial where the variable has the same degree, <strong>and</strong> replac<strong>in</strong>g<br />

the sum by the expression<br />

If<br />

thus 1<br />

S<strong>in</strong>ce <strong>and</strong> (cf., 197) the degree <strong>of</strong> the product<br />

is equal to i.e., the degree <strong>of</strong> the product <strong>of</strong> two polynomials<br />

(non-zero) is equal to the sum <strong>of</strong> the degrees <strong>of</strong> the given polynomials.<br />

Tak<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>to account that the operations <strong>of</strong> addition <strong>and</strong> multiplication<br />

<strong>of</strong> the elements <strong>of</strong> the field K possess the commutative, associative, <strong>and</strong><br />

distributive properties, it is not difficult to verify that the <strong>in</strong>troduced<br />

operations <strong>of</strong> addition <strong>and</strong> multiplication <strong>of</strong> polynomials also possess all<br />

these properties.<br />

If<br />

The polynomials on an arbitrary field K can be divided by one another<br />

with a rema<strong>in</strong>der. Divid<strong>in</strong>g the polynomial by the polynomial<br />
