Question

Let there be a polynomial P(x) and any real number ‘a’. When the polynomial P(x) is divided by (x – a) the remainder obtained is P(a). The above statement is often concluded as

• A. Remainder Theorem
• B. Factor Theorem
• C. Mid- point Theorem
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Remainder Theorem

Remainder Theorem states that when a polynomial P(x) (say) is divided by (x – a) (where ‘a’ is any real number) then the remainder obtained is P (a).
