Let $A \in M_p(\mathbb{C})$ and $n \in \mathbb{N}^*$. We denote $$P_n(X) = \left(1 + \frac{X}{n}\right)^n \in \mathbb{C}[X]$$ and $\chi_A$ the characteristic polynomial of $A$ defined by $$\chi_A(X) = \det\left(A - XI_p\right)$$
Show that there exists a unique pair $\left(Q_n, R_n\right) \in \mathbb{C}[X] \times \mathbb{C}_{p-1}[X]$ such that $$P_n = Q_n \chi_A + R_n$$
