Question

Medal, of course! (Picture attached below).

Answer 1

*lured in by medal*

Answer 2

when there is a factor of a function the the remainder = 0
here p-1 = 0 : p = 1
substitute p = 1 and compute ; the grand sum = 0

Answer 3

1. Replace p with 1since the equation p-1=0 leads to p=1.
2. Solve the equation for k

1+1+1-k =
What's the end value though? Is it 0?

Because if it is: 1+1+1=k
k=3

Answer 4

p^4 + p^2 + p - k = 0
p = 1
1 + 1 + 1 - k = 0
solve for k
k = 3

Answer 5

It was so simple! Thank you guys so much! Since I can't medal you both, I'll give you a medal on another question kittiwitti1?

Answer 6

I medaled her already, but took it off since you medaled her... xD
