Question

the remainder when p(x)=x*x-x+1 is divided by x+1 is

Answer 1

Answer:

When p(x) is divided by x+1, the remainder is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

p(x) = x^2 - x + 1

The zero of x + 1 is -1

By remainder theorem, when p(x) is divided by x + 1, the remainder will be equal to p(-1)

p(x) = x^2 - x + 1

p(-1) = (-1)^2 - (-1) + 1

= 1 + 1 + 1

= 3
