Remainder Theorem says that if there is any Polynomial equation P(x), which is to be divided by (x - a) then remainder can be calculated by substituting value of a in equation P(x).
= P(x) divided by
Step 1: Find a
To find a we will have to convert (x+2) into (x - a) form
i.e. (x+2) = (x - (-2))
therefore, a = -2
Step 2: Substitute value of a in P(x),
By substitution we get,
=
=
= = Remainder
Hence, Remainder is 55.
