REMAINDER THEOREM PRACTICE QUESTIONS

(1)  Check whether p(x) is a multiple of g(x) or not .

p(x) = x³ - 5x² + 4x - 3 ; g(x) = x – 2

Solution

(2)  By remainder theorem, find the remainder when, p(x) is divided by g(x) where,

(i)  p(x) = x³ - 2x² - 4x - 1 and g(x)  =  x + 1

(ii)  p(x)  =  4x³ - 12x² + 14x - 3 and g(x)  =  2x - 1

(iii)  p(x)  =  x³ - 3x² + 4x + 50 and g(x)  =  x - 3

Solution
