I need some help with solving stuff with the remainder theorem. I've literally forgotten everything I've learned in the past couple months in just 2-3 weeks. Can someone show me an example of how to do this question, showing all the steps? When a polynomial P(x) is divided by x+1, x+2, and x+3, the remainders are 2, 3, and 6 respectively. Find the remainder when P(x) is divided by (x+1)(x+2)(x+3)
Wait. What. Polynomial division? Ok, this is easy. Lemme grab you a link that explains it
Isnt it 2x3x6 ? Which is 36
Or not. What is P(x)? Because the remainder therom states that if P(x) is divided by a linear equation ( X-2 ) The remainder will be equal to P(2). This generally is easier IRL to explain then text. But! I have found a video. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTvQXspWhbM[/media] [editline]3rd January 2012[/editline] So - Plug your linear factor into the polynomial. (Plug the 2 from X-2 into P(x) )
