To determine the value of the polynomial f(x), when x=2,
we'll have to find out the expression of f(x).
We'll
determine the order of polynomial f(x), based on the given orders of, divisor, quotient
and reminder.
f(x)'s order = quotient's order + divisor's
order
f(x)'s order = 2 +
1
f(x)'s order = 3 order
We'll
write the reminder theorem:
f(x) = divisor*quotient +
remainder
f(x) = (x-1)*(x^2 -2x+3)+
1
We'll replace x by 3:
f(2) =
(2-1)*(2^2 -4+3)+ 1
The value of the
polynomial f(x), if x = 2, is: f(2) = 4.
