Find the remainder when f(x) is divided by (x - k) f(x) = 4x^3 - 6x^2 + 3x + 1; k= -2

USE REMAINDER THEOREM

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do u know it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No :\

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When a polynomial f(x) is divides by (x-a) then the remainder is f(a)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

got any idea?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not really. Do I subtract the two or just divide?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since k =-2 ------> (x-k)=(x+2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now, REMAINDER = f(-2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can u find f(-2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@serinaaa

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it's -61?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep... u r very corect
