Answer:

The answer is 8

Explanation:

f(x) = 5x² - x + 2

Using the remainder theorem

To find the reminder substitute the value of x into the above function and solve

That's

x + 1 = 0

x = - 1

So we have

f(-1) = 5(-1)² - ( - 1) + 2

f(-1) = 5 + 1 + 2

f(-1) = 6 + 2

We have the final answer as

8

Hope this helps you
