Answer:
2x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
(1)
When polynomial p(x) is divided by (x - 2), the remainder is 1.
Thus, p(2) = 1
(2)
When polynomial p(x) is divided by (x - 3), the remainder is 3.
Thus, p(3) = 3
Given that remainder when p(x) is divided by (x - 2)(x - 3).
When the polynomial is divided by (x - 2)(x - 3), the remainder R will be of the form Ax + B.
Hence,
P(x) = Q * D + Ax + B
So,
P(2) = Q * 0 + 2A + B
=> 1 = 2A + B ------ (1)
P(3) = Q * 0 + 3A + B
=> 3 = 3A + B ------ (2)
On solving (1) & (2), we get
2A + B = 1
3A + B = 3
-------------------
A = 2
Place the value of A = 2 in (1), we get
2A + B = 1
=> 4 + B = 1
=> B = -3
Therefore,
Remainder = 2x - 3.
Hope it helps!
