In each of the following, using the remainder theorem, find the remainder when f(x) is divided by g(x):f(x) = 2x4 - 6x3 + 2x2 - x + 2, g(x) = x + 2

Answer»

We have,

f(x) = 2x4 - 6x3 + 2x2 - x + 2 and g(x) = x + 2

Therefore, by remainder theorem when f (x) is divided by g (x) = x – (-2), the remainder is equal to f (-2)

Now, f(x) = 2x4 - 6x3 + 2x2 - x + 2

f (-2) = 2 (-2)4 – 6 (-2)3 + 2 (-2)2 – (-2) + 2

= 2 * 16 + 48 + 8 + 2 + 2

= 32 + 48 + 12

= 92

Hence, required remainder is 92.
