In each of the following, using the remainder theorem, find the remainder when f(x) is divided by g(x):
f(x) = x3-6x2+2x-4, g(x) = 1-2x
We have,
f(x) = x3-6x2+2x-4 and g(x) = 1-2x
Therefore, by remainder theorem when f (x) is divided by g (x) = -2 (x - ), the remainder is equal to f (
)
Now, f(x) = x3-6x2+2x-4
f () = (
)3 – 6 (
)2 + 2 (
) – 4
= -
+ 1 – 4
=
Hence, required remainder is
