Question

Can you please help me with this maths question

1. Let P(x) = (x+1)(x-3)Q(x)+a(x+1)+b , where Q(x) is a polynomial and a and b are real numbers
When P(x) is divided by (x+1) the remainder is -11.
When P(x) is divided by (x-3) the remainder is 1.

(i) What is the value of b?

(ii) What is the remainder when P(x) is divided by (x+1)(x-3) ?

Answer 1

you want complete solution or jst answer

Answer 2

complete solution please xD

Answer 3

ok

Answer 4

u helping?

Answer 5

p(-1)=b
but r=-11
therfore b=-11

Answer 6

now find a

Answer 7

p(3)=4a+b
b=-11 and R=1
1=4a-11
4a=12
a=3

Answer 8

thanks (:

Answer 9

II)R=-11

Answer 10

no problem

Answer 11

reason for r = -11

Answer 12

because R1xR2
R1=-11
R2=1
R=-11

Answer 13

ohh yeah , thanks (:

Answer 14

nahh

Answer 15

ok

Answer 16

Hashir , btw the answer for (ii) is 3x-8 xD
