MCQ
When $p(x) = x^3 - 3x^2 + 4x + 32$ is divided by $(x + a),$ the remainder is:
✓
$4$
B
$0$
C
$36$
D
$32$
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
$4$
$x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = -2$
By the remainder theorem, we know that when $p(x)$ is divided by $(x + 2),$ the remainder is $p(-2).$
Now, we have:
$p(-2) = (-2)^3 - 3 × (-2)^2 + 4 × (-2) + 32$
$= -8 - 12 - 8 + 32$
$= 4$
