numpy.polydiv#
- numpy.polydiv(u, v)[source]#
Returns the quotient and remainder of polynomial division.
Note
This forms part of the old polynomial API. Since version 1.4, the new polynomial API defined in
numpy.polynomial
is preferred. A summary of the differences can be found in the transition guide.The input arrays are the coefficients (including any coefficients equal to zero) of the “numerator” (dividend) and “denominator” (divisor) polynomials, respectively.
- Parameters:
- uarray_like or poly1d
Dividend polynomial’s coefficients.
- varray_like or poly1d
Divisor polynomial’s coefficients.
- Returns:
- qndarray
Coefficients, including those equal to zero, of the quotient.
- rndarray
Coefficients, including those equal to zero, of the remainder.
Notes
Both u and v must be 0-d or 1-d (ndim = 0 or 1), but u.ndim need not equal v.ndim. In other words, all four possible combinations -
u.ndim = v.ndim = 0
,u.ndim = v.ndim = 1
,u.ndim = 1, v.ndim = 0
, andu.ndim = 0, v.ndim = 1

\[\frac{3x^2 + 5x + 2}{2x + 1} = 1.5x + 1.75, remainder 0.25\]>>> x = np.array([3.0, 5.0, 2.0]) >>> y = np.array([2.0, 1.0]) >>> np.polydiv(x, y) (array([1.5 , 1.75]), array([0.25]))
