MCQ
When $p(x) = x^4 + 2x^3 - 3x^2 + x - 1$ is divided by $(x - 2),$ the remainder is:
  • $21$
  • B
    $0$
  • C
    $-1$
  • D
    $-15$ 

Answer

Correct option: A.
$21$
$x^4 + 2x^3 - 3x^2 + x - 1$
Using remainder theorem,
$= (2)^4 + 2(2)^3 - 3(2)^2 + 2 - 1$
$= 16 + 16 - 12 + 2 - 1$
$= 34 - 13$
$= 21$
