Easy
Find the remainder when p(x) = 3x² + (-6)x + (-8) is divided by (x - 2).
Explanation
Explanation
By the Remainder Theorem, the remainder when p(x) is divided by (x - 2) equals p(2). p(2) = 3(2)² + (-6)(2) + (-8) = 12 + -12 + -8 = -8.
PRO TIP
Re-check your working by substituting the answer back into the original question.
