What is the remainder when 2x^3 + 2x^2 + 5x + 2 is divided by (x - 2)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. 36
- Step 1: By the remainder theorem, the remainder on division by (x - a) is f(a).
- Step 2: f(2) = 36.
Answer
36.
Why not the others: -16 evaluates at -2 instead of 2; 2 is the constant term.
