3. (a) If is divided by , the remainder is 4, find the value of , using remainder theorem.
Solution:
Let,
Zero of is 2.
3. (b) If is divided by , the remainder is 6, find the value of , using remainder theorem.
Solution:
Let,
Zero of is 5.
3. (c) If and , both are divided by , remainder is same, find the value of .
Solution:
Let,
And
Zero of is 1.
By question the remainder is same,
so,
3. (d) If divides the polynomials and to get the same remainder, find the value of .
Solution:
Let,
And
Zero of is 2.
By question the remainder is same,
so,
4. Take a polynomial function. Take any three linear divisors in the form of . Use remainder theorem and find the remainder.
Solution:
