Question

Find the remainder when x3 + 3x2 + 3x + 1 is divided by 5 + 2x.

Solution 1

Let p(x) = x3 + 3x2 + 3x + 1

5 + 2x = 0

⇒ 2x = -5

`⇒ x = -5/2`

`therefore "Remainder "= (-5/2)^3 + 3(-5/2)^2 + 3(-5/2) + 1`

                        `= -125/8+75/4-15/2+1`

                        `= -27/8`

Therefore, the remainder is `-27/8" ."`
