Q1 of 86 Page 42

Find the remainder when x3 + 3x2 + 3x + 1 is divided by the following Linear polynomials:

x + π

Let p(x) = x3 + 3x2 + 3x + 1


As we know by Remainder Theorem,


If a polynomial p(x) is divided by a linear polynomial (x – a) then, the remainder is p(a)


Remainder of p(x) when divided by x + π is p(–π)


p(–π) = (–π)3+ 3(–π)2+ 3(–π) + 1


p(–π)= –π3 + 3π2 –3π + 1


Remainder of x3 + 3x2 + 3x + 1 when divided by x+ π is –π3 + 3π2 –3π + 1
