Question

Use the remainder theorem to find P(2) for P(x) = x^4 - 3x^3 - 6x^2 + 9 .
Specifically, give the quotient and the remainder for the associated division and the value of P(2).
Quotient = ?
Remainder = ?
P(2) = ?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

soln;

given; p(x) = x^4 - 3x^3 - 6x^2 + 9

using remainder theorem;

p(x) = p(a)

      = p(2)

      = (2)^4 - 3(2)^3 - 6(2)^2 + 9

      = -23
