Question

O POLYNOMIAL AND RATIONAL FUNCTIONSUsing the remainder theorem to evaluate a polynomial

Answer 1

Following the remainder theorem, we must divide p(x) between the binomial given by (x+1). For that operation, we are going to use synthetic division. Observe the picture below

With these results, we get that

Quotient:

`-2x^2-x-1`

Remainder: 6

P(-1): 6
