Question

Let P(x) = 5x4 - 8x3 - 2x2 + 7x – 17. The remainder of P(x) when it is divided by x - 2 is​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let P(x)=5x⁴-8x³-2x²+7x

If we divide P(x) by x-2, we get,

P(2)=5(2)⁴-8(2)³-2(2)²-7(2)

= 5×16-8×8-2×4-14

= 80-64-8-14

= 80-86 =-6

So, answer will be -6
