A) -5     B) -3    C) -13     D) 5

Solution

Problem 2 :

k = -3; f(x) = x² + 2x + 2

A) 1     B) -13     C) 5     D) -17

Solution

Problem 3 :

k = -2; f(x) = 3x³ - 7x² - 3x + 3

A) 14     B) -55     C) -43     D) -5

Solution

Problem 4 :

k = 4; f(x) = x³ - 2x² + 5x - 2

A) 54     B) 50     C) -78     D) -76

Solution

Problem 5 :

k = 2; f(x) = 9x⁴ + 10x³ + 6x² - 6x + 16

A) 360     B) 500     C) 252     D) 36

Solution

Problem 6 :

k = 5; f(x) = x³ - 3x² - 4x - 5

A) 35     B) 25    C) -225     D) -220

Solution

Problem 7 :

Using the remainder theorem find the remainders obtained when x³ + (kx + 8)x + k is divided by x + 1 and x - 2. Hence, find k if the sum of the two remainders is 1.
