By the Remainder Theorem, what can be said about the polynomial function s(x) if s(−1)=7 ?

Question

The remainder must be _________when s(x) is divided by_________.

Answer 1

We can say that when we divide (x + 1) into s(x), we will get a remainder of 7.

The reason "x + 1" is the factor is that the factor "x + 1" equates to x = -1
