PolynomialsIf h(x) = x2 + px + 2 is divided by (x + 3), the remainder is 5, find p.
- A.1
- B.2
- C.3
- D.4
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: B (2)
Explanation
h(−3) = 9 − 3p + 2 = 5, so 3p = 6 and p = 2.
If h(x) = x2 + px + 2 is divided by (x + 3), the remainder is 5, find p.
Answer: B (2)
h(−3) = 9 − 3p + 2 = 5, so 3p = 6 and p = 2.
