Question

find the remainder when p(x)=4x^3-12x^2+14x-3 is divided by (x)= x^-1/2

Answer 1

x-1/2 ) 4x³ - 12x² + 14x -3 (4x² - 10x + 9
4x³ - 2x²
(-) (+)
------------------------------
- 10x² + 14x
- 10x² + 5x
(+) (-)
-------------------------------------------------
9x - 3
9x - 9/2
(-) (+)
-------------------------------------------
3/2 -------------------------------remainder
