Answer:
(c) For p = 15, leaves a remainder of -2 when divided by (x-3).
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, The dividend expression is = E(x)
The Divisor = (x-3)
Remainder = -2
Now, by <u>REMAINDER THEOREM</u>:
Dividend = (Divisor x Quotient) + Remainder
If ( x -3 ) divides the given polynomial with a remainder -2.
⇒ x = 3 is a solution of given polynomial E(x) - (-2) =
= S(x)
Now, S(3) = 0
⇒
or, p =1 5
Hence, for p = 15, leaves a remainder of -2 when divided by (x-3).
