Answer 2

Use the remainder theorem!!

Answer 3

Answer 4

can u do the rest?

Answer 5

are you sure, they didn't mention that in my lesson?

Answer 6

I am sure :)

Answer 7

k

Answer 8

You will notice that you get the same answer by long division process.

Answer 9

Answer 12

yeah ure right ofcourse @AravindG

Answer 13

:)

Answer 14

so how does it work with my problem

Answer 15

If f(x) is divided by (x-a) then the the remainder is f(a).

HERE f(x)=given polynomial. a=1

So f(a)= the remainder

Answer 16

well put 1 in place of x in the given function!

Answer 17

ie just put x=1 and you will get the answer.

Answer 18

sorry im still confused.... could you plug in the numbers and let me solve it?

Answer 19

Simply put x=1 in the polynomial! dont expect us to do all the work!
