Question 1 Find the remainder when x3 + 3x2 + 3x + 1 is divided by (v) 5 + 2x Dividing x3 + 3x2 + 3x + 1 by 5 + 2π₯ Step 1: Put Divisor = 0 5 + 2x = 0 2x = β5 x = β 5/2 Step 2: Let p(x) = x3 + 3x2 + 3x + 1 Putting x = β 5/2 p((β5)/2) = ((β5)/2)^3+ 3((β5)/2)^2 + 3((β5)/2) + 1 = (β125)/8 + 3(25/4) β 15/2 + 1 = (β125)/8 + 75/4 β 15/2 + 1 = (β125 + 75(2) β 15(4) + 1(8) )/8 = (β125 + 150 β 60 + 8)/8 = (β27)/8 Thus, remainder = p((β5)/2) = (β27)/8
