In division problems, if the division results in a decimal or fraction, (not a whole number), than it has a remainder.  If the division results in a whole number, then there is no remainder, or a remainder of zero. 

Examples:

6/3=2

6/4=1.5

The reason is because  the number you are trying to divide into parts is not a factor of the number you are trying to divide into parts. so there fore there are left overs. Example:  28/3 ( 28 divided by 3).  3 only goes into 28 9 time (because 9*3 is 27) and then your answer would be 9 REMAINDER of 1 because the 3 cannot equally divide into 28. Hope this helps!

The root x = 1 has multiplicity 3 for the function f(x)=x^3-x^2-x+1. True or false
Ostrovityanka [42]
X^3 - x^2 - x + 1 = 0
Plug in x = 1:-
1 -1 - 1 + 1 = 2 - 2 = 0  so x =1 is a root.

If it has multiplicity 3 then  the function will factor to (x - 1)^3:-

(x - 1)^3 = (x - 1)(x^2 - 2x + 1) =  x^3 - 2x^2  + x - x^2 + 2x - 1 
             
 =  x^3 - 3x^2 + 3x - 1  so it is FALSE
