Question

determine the remainder when polynomial p(x) is divided by x-2

Answer 1

Answer:

p(x) = x4 - 3x2 + 2x - 5

According to remainder theorem, the required remainder will be = p(2)

p(x) = x4 - 3x2 + 2x - 5

∴ p(2) = 24 - 3(2)2 + 2(2) - 5

=16 - 12 + 4 - 5 = 3 .

hope it helped you

Answer 2

Answer:

x=2

x-2=0

x=2

therefore the remainder is 2
