Question

Pls answer this for me, this is the remainder theorem for grade 9 so help me.

Answer 1

1) Let f(x) be x^3+5x^2+2x+1
Since f(x) is divided by x+1,
R= f(-1) = (-1)^3 + 5(-1)^2+2(-1) + 1
= -1+5-2+1
= 3
2) Let f(x) be x^3 - 6x + 5x +2
Since f(x) is divided by x-5,
R= f(5) = x^3 - 6x^2 + 5x +2
= 5^3 - 6(5)^2 + 5(5) +2
= 125 - 150 + 25 + 2
= 2
