Question

The polynomial p(x) = x - 2x + 3x? - 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 p(x) is divided by (x -
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

p(x) = x- 2x + 3x

g(x) = 0

x = +1

p(1) = 1 + 2(1) +3(1)

= 3+3

= 6
