How to do remainder theorem ?
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
The Remainder Theorem states that when you divide a polynomial P(x) by any factor (x - a); which is not necessarily a factor of the polynomial; you'll obtain a new smaller polynomial and a remainder, and this remainder is the value of P(x) at x = a, i.e P(a)
Remainder Theorem operates on the fact that a polynomial is completely divisible once by its factor to obtain a smaller polynomial and a remainder of zero. This provides an easy way to test whether a value a is a root of the polynomial P(x).
For example, given a polynomial P(x), and also given that a is a root of the polynomial, then when P(x) is divided by the factor (x - a), the result should be a smaller polynomial P1(x) and a remainder zero.
Below is an example that serves to prove the remainder theorem
prove that x = 1 is a root of P(x),
solution:
which implies that x = 1 is a root of the polynomial P(x), and (x - 1) is a factor of P(x)
Therefore if we were to synthetically divide through P(x) by (x - 1), we should get a new smaller polynomial and a remainder of zero:
Answer:
Reminder Theorem
if p(x)=8x+9x
then
g(x)=x+2
=x+2=0
=-2
p(-2)=8(-2)+9(-2)
=-16-18
=-34
therefore
it is the answer
