D. P(-a/b)

Other:__________

​

Answer 1

Answer:

The remainder obtained when the polynomial p(x) is divided by (b – ax) is. Correct answer is option C.

Answer 2

Answer:

p(b/a)

Step-by-step explanation:

p(x)=(ax−b)q(x)+r(x)

where q(x) is the quotient when f(x) is divided by x−a and r(x)

The Remainder Theorem says that we can restate the polynomial in terms of the divisor, and then evaluate the polynomial

ax−b=0

x=b/a

hence putting it we get

p( b/a) =0

p(b/a)=r(b/a)

hence the remainder is p(b/a)
