@FoolForMath plz help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

option are 6x^2 +3 3 6x +3 3x + 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

See if this helps, \[P(-2)=-9\] \[P(1)=9\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

FoolFm is right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok then wat to do next?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6x +3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes the answer is 6x+3 can u tell the steps

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the remainder should have the same value as p in 1 and -2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then how it came 6x+3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

p=(x-1)(x+2)Q+R

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok next??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so p(1)=R(1) and p(-2)=R(-2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok....
