Reminder and Factor Theorem

Question 1

Reminder Theorem

Answer 1

If p(x) is any polynomial and ‘a’ is any real number, then the remainder when p(x) is divided by (x-a) is given by p(a).

Question 2

Factor Theorem

Answer 2

If p(x) is a polynomial of degree n(>= 1) and ‘a’ be any real number such that p(a)=0 then (x-a) is a factor of p(x).

Question 3
