A third-degree polynomial P(x)=x3+2x2+mx+n divided by x2−4x+3 has a remainder of 3x+2. Then the value of n = ....
The basic concept of polynomial division is
where P(x) is the polynomial being divided, g(x) is the divisor, h(x) is the quotient, and s(x) is the remainder.
Thus
where P(x)=x3+2x2+mx+n, g(x)=(x−1)(x−3), and s(x)=3x+2.
Substitute x=1
Substitute x=3
Eliminate both equations
Substitute into equation (1)
