Answer 1

The remainder when the polynomial is divided by x + 1 is 2

Given the function P(x)=3x^4 −2x^3 +2x^2 −1, to get the rmainder if the polynomial is divided by x + 1, we will substitute x = - 1 into the function to have:

P(-1) = 3(-1)^4 −2(-1)^3 +2(-1)^2 −1

P(-1) = 3(1) - 2 + 2(1) - 1

P(-1) = 1 + 1

P(-1) = 2

Hence the remainder when the polynomial is divided by x + 1 is 2
