Given:

The polynomial x^3-1 is divided by (x+2).

To find:

The remainder.

Solution:

Remainder theorem: If a polynomial p(x) is divided by (x-c), then the remainder is p(c).

Consider the polynomial:

p(x)=x^3-1

It is divided by (x+2). So, by the remainder theorem the remainder is p(-2).

Substituting x=-2 in the above polynomial, we get

p(-2)=(-2)^3-1

p(-2)=-8-1

p(-2)=-9

Therefore, the remainder is -9.

The coordinates of quadrilateral PQRS are P(0, 0), Q(a + c, 0), R(2a + c, b), and S(a, b). How can you use coordinate geometry t
Flauer [41]
We will use the formula for the slope:
m = ( y2- y1 ) / ( x2 - x1 )
For PQ : m = ( 0 - 0 ) / ( a + c - 0 ) = 0
For RS : m = ( b - b ) / ( a - ( 2a + c )) = 0
Both slopes are m = 0, so PQ and RS are parallel to x - axis and at the same time parallel to each other ( PQ | | RS ). One pair of opposite sides is parallel.
