When p (x) = 4x3 - 12x2 + 11x – 5 is divided by (2x – 1), the remainder is

We have,

4x3 - 12x2 + 11x - 5


Let, p (x) = 4x3 - 12x2 + 11x - 5


And, (2x – 1) = 0


2x = 1


x =


It is given that, (2x - 1) is a factor of p (x) so the remainder is equal to p()


p (2) = 4 ()3 - 12 ()2 + 11 () - 5


= 4 × - 12 × + 11 × - 5


= - 3 + - 5


= – 8


= 6 – 8


= - 2


Hence, option C is correct
