Let p (x ) = x^3 - 3x^2 - 10x + 24. What is the remainder when p (x ) is divided by x - 1?

The remainder is 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Polynomial Remainder Theorem

The remainder of the division of a polynomial f(x) by (x-a) is equal to f(a).

We are given the polynomial:

And we are required to find the remainder when p(x) is divided by (x-1).

We can simply apply the polynomial remainder theorem, substituting x for 1 in the polynomial:

Remainder= 1 - 3 - 10 + 24 = 12

The remainder is 12.

2 x^2 -3x+p

sum of roots = 3/2

let other root be x

3+ x = 3/2

x= 3/2 - 3 = -3/2

product of roots = p/2

3× -3/2 = p/2

-9 = p
