Question

For the given polynomial​ P(x) and c=1/2 use the remainder theorem to find​ P(c).

Answer 1

Answer:

-2.90625

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the polynomial function

P(x) = x^5-x^4+x^3-3

If c = 1/2

At x = c

P(1/2) = (1/2)^5-(1/2)^4+(1/2)^3-3

P(1/2) = 1/32 - 1/16 + 1/8 - 3

P(1/2) = 1-2+4-96/32

P(1/2) = -93/32

P(1/2) = -2.90625

Hence P(c) is -2.90625
