When a polynominal P(x) is divided by x-1 , the remainder is 3, when divided by x+2 , the remainder is 6, and when divided by x-3, the remainder is 11. Find the remainder when P (x) is divided by (x-1)(x+2)(x-3). Show Your Work PLZ HELP ME UNDERSTAND IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Help PLZ ?!

OpenStudy (dan815):

okay so first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah

OpenStudy (dan815):

remainer means when u do synthetic division you get some numbers +3/x+2 when u divide by x+2

OpenStudy (dan815):

3/(x-1*)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

kk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait WAT?!?!

OpenStudy (dan815):

and when u divide by (x+2) you get ...+6/(x+2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oH ok now

OpenStudy (dan815):

by x-3, the remainder is 11. so ....+11/(x-3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (dan815):

so lets see what happens when u divide by all of them at once

OpenStudy (anonymous):
