Find the remainder when dividing \(f(x)\) by \(g(x)\).
- \(f(x)=x^3+2x^2+x-3, \quad g(x)=x-2\)
- \(f(x)=x^3-5x+8, \quad g(x)=x-3\)
- \(f(x)=x^5-1, \quad g(x)=x+1\)
- \(f(x)=x^5+5x^2-7x+10, \quad g(x)=x+2\)
- Answer
-
- remainder \(r = 15\)
- \(r = 20\)
- \(r = -2\)
- \(r = 12\)
Determine whether the given \(g(x)\) is a factor of \(f(x)\). If so, name the corresponding root of \(f(x)\).
- \(f(x)=x^2+5x+6, \quad g(x)=x+3\)
- \(f(x)=x^3-x^2-3x+8, \quad g(x)=x-4\)
- \(f(x)=x^4+7x^3+3x^2+29x+56, \quad g(x)=x+7\)
- \(f(x)=x^{999}+1, \quad g(x)=x+1\)
- Answer
-
- yes, \(g(x)\) is a factor of \(f(x)\), the root of \(f(x)\) is \(x = −3\)
- \(g(x)\) is not a factor of \(f(x)\)
- \(g(x)\) is a factor of \(f(x)\), the root of \(f(x)\) is \(x = −7\)
- \(g(x)\) is a factor of \(f(x)\), the root of \(f(x)\) is \(x = −1\)
Check that the given numbers for \(x\) are roots of \(f(x)\) (see Observation). If the numbers \(x\) are indeed roots, then use this information to factor \(f(x)\) as much as possible.
- \(f(x)=x^3-2x^2-x+2, \quad x=1\)
- \(f(x)=x^3-6x^2+11x-6, \quad x=1, x=2, x=3\)
- \(f(x)=x^3-3x^2+x-3, \quad x=3\)
- \(f(x)=x^3+6x^2+12x+8, \quad x=-2\)
- \(f(x)=x^3+13x^2+50x+56, \quad x=-3, x=-4\)
- \(f(x)=x^3+3x^2-16x-48, \quad x=2, x=-4\)
- \(f(x)=x^5+5x^4-5x^3-25x^2+4x+20, \quad x=1, x=-1, \quad x=2, x=-2\)
- Answer
-
- \(f(x)=(x-2)(x-1)(x+1)\)
- \(f(x)=(x-1)(x-2)(x-3)\)
- \(f(x)=(x-3)(x-i)(x+i)\)
- \(f(x)=(x+2)^{3}\)
- \(f(x)=(x+2)(x+4)(x+7)\)
- \(f(x)=(x-4)(x+3)(x+4)\)
- \(f(x)=(x-2)(x-1)(x+1)(x+2)(x+5)\)

- \(\dfrac{x^5+32}{x+2}\)
- \(\dfrac{x^3+5x^2-3x-10}{x+5}\)
- Answer
-
- \(2 x^{2}+7 x+9+\dfrac{25}{x-2}\)
