Question

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! CORRECT ANSWER ONLY PLEASE!!!

What is the remainder when you divide 4x^3 - 5x^2 + 3x - 1 by x - 2?

Answer 1

f(a) is the remainder of f(x)/x_a

so hence the remainder of 4×3- 5x2+3x-1/x-2 is (4.(2)^2) - (5.(2)^2) + (3.2) - 1 = 17

Answer 2

Answer: D) 17

Explanation:

You can use long division or synthetic division. I will use synthetic division because it is the simplest and quickest method:

x - 2 = 0 --> x = 2

2 | 4 -5 3 -1

| ↓ 8 6 18

4 3 9 17 ← REMAINDER
