Explain what is wrong with the “obvious” approach to polynomial division using a point-value representation, i.e., dividing the corresponding y values. Discuss separately the case in which the division comes out exactly and the case in which it doesn’t.

Clearly, if we have points ( x i , y i ) and one of them is ( x i , 0 ), we can't perform the devision for that point.
The approach holds as long as there is no zeros in the divisor function values.
