When f(m) is divided by (m+1)(m+1),what is the remainder?

Question

The polynomial function fff is defined as f(m) = (m^3-m^2-17m-15)(m+1).

Answer 1

f(x) / [(m+1)(m+1)] = (m³ - m² - 17m - 15) / (m+1)

 

By the Remainder Theorem, the remainder is the value of m³ - m² - 17m - 15 evaluated at m = -1.

 

Remainder = (-1)³ - (-1)² - 17(-1) - 15 = 0.
