Defining the Average Unit Revenue Quotient Function
A business analyst is modeling a company's monthly performance using polynomial functions. The total monthly revenue is represented by the function , and the total number of units sold is represented by the function . To calculate the revenue per unit, the analyst must define the quotient function . According to the formal definition of the division of polynomial functions, state the formula for and identify the mathematical restriction that must be placed on the polynomial for this function to be defined.
