    The remainder theorem states that the remainder of dividing a polynomial p(x) by x-c is equal to p(c). The factor theorem states that if p(c) = 0, then x-c is a factor of p(x). For example, to find the remainder of p(x) = 2x^3 - 7x^2 - 5x + 4 when divided by x-4, we evaluate p(4) which is equal to 0, so the remainder is 0. To determine if x-4 is a factor of p(x), we evaluate p(4) which equals 0, so x-4 is a factor of p(x).

    REMAINDER THEOREM

    • The theorem states that if a polynomial function


    p(x) is divided by x-c, then the remainder is
    equal to p(c), where p(x) is simply evaluated for
    x=c. when we say evaluated we are to substitute
    the given value to the function or expression. So
    since we are evaluating p(x) for x=c we simply
    find p( c ).
    For example:
    • P(x)=2x3 -7x2 -5x+4 ; x-4 in here we are to determine the remainder of
    the given p(x) divided by the divisor. Our p(x) will be 2x3 -7x2 -5x+4
    and our divisor will be x-4.
    • Going back to our definition, our divisor is in the form of x-c, and by
    that we have to equate it to the given divisor which is x-4 and we will
    have:
    x-c=x-4
    Using the addition property of equality, we add –x to both side of the
    equation. It will give us
    x+(-x)-c=x-4+(-x)
    • x-x=0 so we will have –c= -4 and then we will divide both side by -1 to
    remove the negative sign in (c ).
    We will have now c=4

    • So our c=4 ,we can now evaluate the given function having p(4).
    P(4)=2(4)3 -7(4)2 -5(4) +4
    =128-112-20+4
    =132-132
    =0
    • Thus , the remainder of 2x3 -7x2 -5x+4 divided by x-4 is 0.
    Who can try this one on the board?
    1. P(x)= 2𝑥 3 -7𝑥 2 +3x+4 ; x-1
    2. P(x)= 5𝑥 2 − 2x+1 ; x+2
    • REMAINDER THEOREM is use to find the remainder of
    a given polynomial that is divided by a binomial
    without using the long division and synthetic method.
    It is simply by evaluating and equating our p(x) and
    our divisor.
    Get 1 whole sheet of paper and answer the
    following:
    • Find the remainder of the given polynomial divided by each binomial.
    1. P(x) = 𝟒𝒙𝟒 -𝟑𝒙𝟑 -𝒙𝟐 +2x+1
    a. x-3 b. x+2 c. x+4
    2. P(x)=𝟐𝒙𝟒 -𝟑𝒙𝟑 + 𝟒𝒙𝟐 +17x+7
    a. x-2 b. x+3 c. x-4
    3. P(x)=𝟖𝒙𝟒 + 𝟏𝟐𝒙𝟑 − 𝟏𝟎𝒙𝟐 +3x+27
    a. x-1 b. x+1 c. x-2
    FACTOR THEOREM
    • The theorem states that if p( c )= 0 then x-c is a factor of p(x).
    Conversely, if x-c is a factor of p(x), then p( c )= 0.
    Example:
    • P(x)= 2x3 -7x2 -5x+4
    a.x+1 b. x-4 c. x-2 d. x-3
    • Here, we are going to determine which of the following
    binomials are factors of a given equation are. Let’s use the
    x+1 for the given equation.
    2x3 -7x2 -5x+4; x+1
    Solution: x-c = x+1
    c=-1
    p(-1) =2(-1)3 -7(-1)2 -5(-1)+4
    =-2-7+5+4
    =0
    Since p(-1) = 0 therefore x+1 is a factor of p(x).
    Let’s have the example b. (x-4)
    x-c=x-4
    c=4
    Solution:
    2x3 -7x2 -5x+4
    P(4)= 2(4)3 -7(4)2 -5(4)+4
    =128-112-20+4
    =0
    • Since p(4)= 0, therefore x-4 is a factor of p(x).
    • Who can find if letter c and d is a factor of our given
    polynomial?

    Again, factor theorem is use to determine that the given


    binomial/divisor is a factor of polynomial p(x).
    Determine if a given binomial/ divisor is a
    factor of p(x)
    1. P(x) =𝑥 3 -4𝑥 2 -2x+5
    a. x+2 b. x+4 c. x-4 d. x-1

    2. P(x)= 𝑥 4 + 3𝑥 3 -𝑥 2 +7x-24
    a. x-2 b. x+3 c. x-4 d. x+1
