Question

Use long division and the Remainder Theorem to evaluate P(c), where
P(x)=x^3−3x^2+5x−10,c=2

what is the quotient

Answer 1

Are you trying to factor or just divide?
I can think of rational root theorem. Does that sound familiar?

Answer 2

im not sure what i have to do. but i have to find the quotient somehow.

Answer 3

I get -4

Answer 4

Anyways, I think this is rational root theorem. So you're dividing by \[(x^3-3x^2+5x-10) \div (x-2)\]x-2

Answer 5

oh ok.

Answer 6

Do you know how to do long division with polynomials or do you need help?

Answer 7

i can do that. i just didnt know what concept to use

Answer 8

thanks for the help
