Question

Divide (6m3 – 27m2 + 8m – 20) by (m – 5).
What is the remainder?

Answer 1

bottom=0
m-5=0

so bottom is 0 when m=5

since this is a polynomial divided by a linear
you just replace the bottom's zero into the top to find the remainder

that is you just need to evaluate
6(5)^3-27(5)^2+8(5)-20
this is called using the remainder theorem

Answer 2

Ok thanks you just reminded me how to do this

Answer 3

np

Answer 4

wait do you multiply them or divide

Answer 5

5^3 means do 5 times 5 times 5
5^2 means do 5 times 5

then after you take care of the exponents part
you can do just the multiplication part
then the addition and subtraction as it occurs from left to right

Answer 6

ok thanks
