Question: Euclidean algorithm for polynomials Let f ( x ) and g ( x ) be polynomials over F for which deg ( f ( x

Euclidean algorithm for polynomials
Let f (x) and g(x) be polynomials over F for which
deg(f (x))>= deg(g(x))>=1.
Use the division algorithm for polynomials to compute polynomials
qi(x) and ri(x) as follows.
f (x)= q1(x)g(x)+ r1(x), degr1(x)< deg(g(x)). If r1(x)6=0, then
g(x)= q2r1(x)+ r2(x), degr2(x)< deg(g(x)). If r2(x)6=0, then
r1(x)= q3(x)r2(x)+ r3(x), degr3(x)< deg(r2(x)). If r3(x)6=0, then
r2(x)= q4(x)r3(x)+ r4(x), degr4(x)< deg(r3(x)). If r4(x)6=0, then
...
rj (x)= qj+2(x)rj+1(x)+ rj+2(x), degrj+2(x)< deg(rj+1(x)). If rj+2(x)=0,
rj (x)= qj+2(x)rj+1(x)+0.
Show that rj+1(x)= gcd(f (x), g(x)). Then use these equations to ob-
tain polynomials a(x) and b(x) for which rj+1(x)= a(x)f (x)+b(x)g(x).
The case where 1 is the gcd of f (x) and g(x) is especially useful.
