Question

What is the remainder when P(x) is divided by (x + 5)?

Answer 1

=3. The remainder of given polynomial is 3.

Let us take polynomial f(x) as dividend and linear expression as divisor.

The linear expression should be in the form of x-a.

Then, the remainder value of polynomial will become f(a).

So, substitute the c value in the polynomial expression and evaluate to get the remainder value.
