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

This seems complicated, but it is not.  It wants you to just make up your own random function and linear binomial....
 $$f(x) = 2x ^{2}-6x+10$$  and (x-2)

This is part A...

Part 2)
      f(2) = 2 (2)^2 - 6(2) +10
            = 12

   I don't understand the significance of this part.  And as Part 3, I don't know the Remainder Theorem and don't feel like looking it up.
