1994 Extension 1 HSC Q4a)When the polynomial P(x) is divided by (x + 1)(x – 4), the quotient is Q(x) and the remainder is R(x).

54 R

(i) Why is the most general form of R(x) given by R(x) = ax + b?

The degree of the divisor is 2, therefore the degree of the remainder is at most 1, i.e. a linear function.

(ii) Given that P(4) = – 5 , show that R(4) = – 5

P(x) = (x + 1)(x – 4)Q(x) + R(x) P(4) = (4 + 1)(4 – 4)Q(4) + R(4) R(4) = – 5

(iii) Further, when P(x) is divided by (x + 1), the remainder is 5. Find R(x)
