If p(x) = 2x^3 - 3x + 5, what is the remainder of p(x) divided by (x - 5)

The question is

if p(x)= 2x³-3x+5, what is the remainder of p(x) divided by (x-5)

We use the synthetic division to find the remainder,

x-5=0

x=5

Now, write the coefficients of polynomial.

5 | 2  0  -3    5

   | ↓ 10  50  235

-------------------------------

     2 10  47  | 240→ is the remainder.

Quotient= 2x²+10x+47

Remainder= 240

The remainder of [tex]P\left( x \right) = 2{x^3} - 3x + 5[/tex] divided by [tex]\left( {x - 5}\right)[/tex] is

Explanation:

If division of a polynomial by a binomial result in a remainder of zero means that the binomial is a factor of polynomial.

The polynomial is [tex]P\left( x \right) = 2{x^3} - 3x + 5[/tex] and [tex]\left( {x - 5} \right).[/tex]

The numerator of the division is [tex]P\left( x \right) = 2{x^3} - 3x + 5[/tex] and the denominator is

Solve the given polynomial [tex]P\left( x \right) = 2{x^3} - 3x + 5[/tex] by the use of synthetic division.

Now obtain the value of [tex]x[/tex] from the denominator.

[tex]\begin{aligned}x - 5 &= 0\\x&= 5\\\end{aligned}[/tex]

Divide the coefficients of the polynomial by [tex]5.[/tex]

[tex]\begin{aligned}5\left| \!{\nderline {\,{2\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,0\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, - 3\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,5} \,}} \right.  \hfill\\\,\,\,\,\underline{\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,10\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,50\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,235}\hfill\\\,\,\,\,\,2\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,10\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,47\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,240\hfill\\\end{aligned}[/tex]

The last entry of the synthetic division tells us about remainder and the last entry of the synthetic division is [tex]240[/tex].Therefore, the remainder of the synthetic division is [tex]240.[/tex]

The remainder of [tex]p\left( x \right) = 2{x^3} - 3x + 5[/tex] divided by [tex]\left( {x - 5}\right)[/tex] is [tex]\boxed{240}.[/tex]
