Find the remainder when 4x³-3x²+ 4x-2 is divided by X – 1 and X – 2.
Answers
Answer :
3 , 26
Note :
★ Remainder theorem : If a polynomial p(x) is divided by (x - c) , then the remainder obtained is given as R = p(c) .
★ Factor theorem :
If the remainder obtained on dividing a polynomial p(x) by (x - c) is zero , ie. if R = p(c) = 0 , then (x - c) is a factor of the polynomial p(x) .
If (x - c) is a factor of the polynomial p(x) , then the remainder obtained on dividing the polynomial p(x) by (x - c) is zero , ie. R = p(c) = 0 .
Solution :
Let the given polynomial be p(x) .
Thus ,
p(x) = 4x³ - 3x² + 4x - 2
We need to find the remainders , when the given polynomial p(x) is divided by (x - 1) and (x - 2) .
• If x - 1 = 0 , then x = 1 .
Thus ,
The remainder obtained on dividing the given polynomial p(x) by (x - 1) will be given as ;
=> R = p(1)
=> R = 4•1³ - 3•1² + 4•1 - 2
=> R = 4•1 - 3•1 + 4•1 - 2
=> R = 4 - 3 + 4 - 2
=> R = 3
• If x - 2 = 0 , then x = 2 .
Thus ,
The remainder obtained on dividing the given polynomial p(x) by (x - 2) will be given as ;
=> R = 4•2³ - 3•2² + 4•2 - 2
=> R = 4•8 - 3•4 + 4•2 - 2
=> R = 32 - 12 + 8 - 2
=> R = 26
Hence ,
The remainders obtained on dividing the given polynomial by (x - 1) and (x - 2) are 3 and 26 respectively .
