<h3>Answer: Remainder = 3</h3>
===================================================
Explanation:
The remainder theorem says that if we divide some polynomial p(x) over (x-k), then p(k) is the remainder.
The expression x+1 is the same as x-(-1). Comparing this to x-k shows k = -1.
So we'll need to evaluate p(-1)
To do so visually, draw a vertical line through -1 on the x axis. Make sure this vertical line crosses the blue curve at some point, which I'll call point A.
From point A, draw a horizontal line to the y axis. You should reach y = 3.
This is all shown in the diagram below.
In other words, the point (-1,3) is on the blue curve, and p(-1) = 3.
So the remainder is 3.

Given:
The leading coefficient of a polynomial is 8.
Polynomial roots are 1 and 2.
The graph passes through the point (4,5).
To find:
The 3rd root and the equation of the polynomial.
Solution:
The factor form of a polynomial is:
Where, a is a constant and are the roots of the polynomial.
Polynomial roots are 1 and 2. So, and
are the factors of the polynomial.
Let the third root of the polynomial by c, then is a factor of the polynomial.
The leading coefficient of a polynomial is 8. So, a=8 and the equation of the polynomial is:
The graph passes through the point (4,5). Putting , we get
Divide both sides by 48.
Therefore, the 3rd root on the polynomial is .
