    1. The document provides worked examples using the remainder theorem to find the remainder when a polynomial p(x) is divided by a linear polynomial. 2. It gives the example polynomial p(x) = 3x3 + 5x2 - x + 1 and finds the remainder when divided by: x + 2 (remainder is -1), 2x - 1 (remainder is 17/8), and x + m (remainder is -3m3 + 5m2 + m + 1). 3. The remainder theorem states that the remainder of dividing a polynomial p(x) by cx - d is equal to p(d/c).

    +5x
    2
    x+1
    is divided by the following linear polynomials:
    1. x + 2
    2. 2x 1
    3. x + m
    SOLUTION
    Step 1: Determine the remainder for each linear divisor
