Remainder theorem

Question

Use the remainder theorem to find the remainder when f(x) is divided by x-2. Then use the factor theorem to determine whether x-2 is a factor of f(x)

• the remainder is _____

• is x-2 a factor of the response above yes or no?

Answer 1

Evaluate your polynomial function at x=2...

that is find f(2)

f(2) will give you the remainder when this polynomial function is divided by x-2

if f(2)=0 then x-2 is factor and x=2 is a solution

You did not provide the polynomial function, so this is the best that can be done...
