Find the remainder when $2x^3+3x^2-8x+2$ is divided by $x-2$ (by Remainder theorom)
Given:
$2x^3+3x^2-8x+2$ is divided by $x-2$
To do:
Use remainder theorem to find the remainder when $2x^3+3x^2-8x+2$ is divided by $x-2$.
Solution:
The remainder theorem states that when a polynomial, $p(x)$ is divided by a linear polynomial, $x - a$ the remainder of that division will be equivalent to $p(a)$.
$f(x) = 2x^3 + 3x^2 - 8x+2$
$g(x) = x -2$
So, the remainder will be $f(2)$.
$f(2) = 2(2)^3+3(2)^2-8(2) + 2$
$= 2(8) + 3(4) -16+2$
$=16+12-14$
$=14$
Therefore, the remainder is $14$.
