POLYNOMIAL FUNCTION

Remainder Theorem
 Determine the value of the following
polynomials at given value/s of x

1. P(x) = x3 + x2 - 3x + 1 ; x = -1
2. P(x) = 2x3 + x – 2 ;x=1
3. P(x) = 3x + 4x2 – 2 ; x = 3
4. P(x) = x3 + 2x2 + 3 ; x = -2
5. P(x) = x3 + 10x -5 ; x = -4
 Use synthetic division to
find the remainder.
