Im confusted about remainder therom
use the remainder theorem to determine which binomial is a factor of the function f(x) = x3 − 7x2 + 36.
(x + 3)
(x + 2)
(x + 6)
(x − 2)

(x + 2) is a factor of f(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the remainder theorem to divide f(x) by (x - h)

Evaluate f(h) and if equal to 0 then (x - h) is a factor

f(- 3) = (- 3)³ - 7(- 3)² + 36 = - 27 - 63 + 36 ≠ 0

f(- 2) = (- 2)³ - 7(- 2)² + 36 = - 8 - 28 + 36 = 0

f(- 6) = (- 6)³ - 7(- 6)² + 36 = - 216 - 252 + 36 ≠ 0

f(2) = 2³ - 7(2)² + 36 = 8 - 28 + 36 = 16 ≠ 0

Hence (x + 2) is a factor of f(x)

  (x +2)

See the attached. seems to think there are offensive words in here, so it cannot be posted as text. If there, they are not there by intention, so please interpret accordingly.

if a = 1,   and b = 2, then the answer is 47.99999999. if you round that to the nearest whole number, the answer is 48.
