Find the value of ‘t’ for which the polynomial P(x) = x3+3x2+2x+t gives 3 as remainder when divided by( x – 1).
-2
-3
-4
-5
The remainder when P(x) is divided by x – 1 is 3 which means that P(1) = 3, so P(1) = (1)3+3(1)2+2(1)+t=3 1+3+2+t=3 Or, t = -3.
The remainder when the polynomial p(x)= x3 – 3x2 + 2x – 1 is divided by x-2 is
