Given:
Values of a polynomial P(x).




To find:
The remainder when P(x) is divided by (x+5).
The remainder when P(x) is divided by (x-3).
Solution:
If a polynomial P(x) is divided by (x-a), then the remainder is P(a).
If the polynomial P(x) is divided by (x+5), then the remainder is P(-5).

Therefore, the remainder is -2 when P(x) is divided by (x+5).
If the polynomial P(x) is divided by (x-3), then the remainder is P(3).

Therefore, the remainder is 7 when P(x) is divided by (x-3).
The order of operations is PEMDAS. So it would be 8.4 +(13.1 - 0.6) = 8.4 + 12.5 = 20.9
4/10 is equal to 8/10 and 12/30
1.2 is less than 1.5
If you cancel out 1 from both numbers you're left with .2 and .5
Multiply both by 10 and get 2 and 5.
Obviously 2 is less than 5.
