Question

i've been working on this for over a hour and i cannot figure out how to do this ): i will give a medal to best answer pls help!
Create a quadratic polynomial function f(x) and a linear binomial in the form (x − a).
Part 1. Show all work using long division to divide your polynomial by the binomial.
Part 2. Show all work to evaluate f(a) using the function you created.
Part 3. Use complete sentences to explain how the remainder theorem is used to determine whether your linear binomial is a factor of your polynomial function

Answer 1

well you can construct this to make it easy on your self
let our polynomial be (x-3)(x+4) = x^2+x-12

and your linear binomial to be (x-3)

now we divide x^2+x-12 by x-3

we set this up like long division in grade school

(x-3)|x^2+x-12

where | is the long division bar thingy

so it would look like this

Answer 2

you with me?

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

now we divide the first term of (x-3) which is x by the first term of our polynomial, then we put that on top, then we multiply that by (x-3) and put that on bottom with a minus sign

Answer 5

note x^2/x = x

Answer 6

that should say

"now we divide the first term of our polynomial by the first term of (x-3) which is x"...

Answer 7

your not even here....
