Question

14. The polynomial p(x) = x* - 2x'+3x- ax + b when divided by (x - 1) and
(x+1) leaves the remainders 5 and 19 respectively. Find the values of a
and b. Hence, find the remainder when p(x) is divided by (x - 2).​

Answer 1

Answer:

p(x) = x* - 2x'+3x- ax + b

Step-by-step explanation:

x=2

p(2)=x*-2(2)+3(2)-2a+b

p(2)=x*-4+6-2a+b

p(2)=x*-2a+b+2

p(2)=x*+2-2a+b
