Polynomial `P(x)` contains only terms of aodd degree. when `P(x)` is divided by `(x - 3)`, the ramainder is `6`. If `P(x)` is divided by `(x^(2) - 9)` then remainder is `g(x)`. Then find the value of `g(2)`.

Answer» Correct Answer - `4`
As `P(x)` has only add degree terms
`:. P(-x) = -P(x)`
`rArr P(-3) = -P(3) = -6`
Let `P(x) = Q(x^(2) - 9) + g(x)`
where `Q` is quetient and `g(x)` is remainder `g(x) = ax + b`
`P(x) = Q(x^(2)- 9) + ax + b`
`x = 3, P(3) = 3a + b = 6 ….(i)`
`x = -3, P(-3) = -3a + b = -6 ....(ii)`
`b = 0` and `a = 2`
`:. g(x) = 2x`
`:. g(2) = 4`
