Find the remainder when p(x) = 3x² + (-4)x + (6) is divided by (x - 1).
Explanation
Explanation
By the Remainder Theorem, the remainder when p(x) is divided by (x - 1) equals p(1). p(1) = 3(1)² + (-4)(1) + (6) = 3 + -4 + 6 = 5.
PRO TIP
Re-check your working by substituting the answer back into the original question.
