Functions of a Real Variable, III, 120
Let and be two relatively prime polynomials (with complex coefficients), the degree of being strictly less than that of . Let be the gcd of and its derivative , and let be the quotient of by ; show that there are two uniquely determined polynomials whose degrees are, respectively, strictly less than those of and , such that
Deduce that the coefficients of and belong to the smallest field (over ) containing the coefficients of and and contained in .
