Answer 1

Answer:

Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

I can't see the words on your image very well but I can give you an explanation of the remainder theorem.

The theorem allows you to find the remainder of a division without doing the division itself.

You can find the remainder when  a polynomial is divided by a linear expression like 3x - 2, for example,  using this theorem.

An example will explain the method:

What is the remainder when x^3 - x^2 - 2x - 5 is divided by 2x - 1?

Put 2x - 1 = 0, this gives x = 0.5.

Now we plug x = 0.5 into the polynomial:

This = (0.5)^3 - (0.5)^2 -2(0.5) - 5 = -6.125

So the remainder is -6.125.

The formal definition is

The remainder when P(x) is divided by x - a is f(a).
