The polynomial f(x)=x² −2x³ + 3x² − ax+b when divided by (x-1) and (x + 1) leaves the remainders 5 and 19 respectively. Find the values of a and b. Hence, find the remainder when f(x) is divided by (x-2)​

Given f(x) = x4 - 2x3 + 3x2 - ax + b

When f(x) is divided by (x-1), it leaves a remainder 5

f(1) = 5

1 - 2(1)3 + 3(1)2 - a(1) + b = 5

1 - 2 + 3 - a +b = 5

-a + b = 3 … (i)

When f(x) is divided by (x+1), it leaves a remainder 19

f(-1) = 19

(-1)4 - 2(-1)3 + 3(-1)2 - a(-1) + b = 19

1 + 2 + 3 + a + b = 19

a +b = 13 … (ii)

Adding (i) and (ii),

2b = 16  b = 8

(i)  a = b - 3 = 8 - 3 = 5

Therefore,  f(x) = x4 - 2x3 + 3x2 - 5x + 8

When f(x) is divided by x - 3, the remainder will be

f(3) = 34 - 2(3)3 + 3(3)2 - 5(3) + 8 = 81 + 9 - 15 + 8 = 83
