Objective 1: state the remainder and factor theorem.

Note: This theorem gives a simple method for evaluating the remainder only. If the quotient is required,
long division must be used.

Do example from The Complete Course for A-level on page 33. Also, from the Pure mathematics Unit 1
text pg 71 Example 13,14

Note: This theorem is very useful when factorizing polynomials of degree greater than 2. Also, note (1) on
pg 34 of The Complete Course for A-level .

Do example from the Pure mathematics Unit 1 text pg 74 Example 16, 17, 20, 23
Objective 2: divide polynomials up to the third degree by linear expressions. Method of long division and
inspection.

Objective 3: solve problems involving the factor and remainder theorems.
