Question 1056365: 1.Divide using polynomials long division.
(3x^2-29x+56)/(x-7)
2.Use the polynomial remainder theorem to evaluate the polynomial.

f(x)=x^3-4x^2-12x+15
what is the value of f(6)?

===3x-8
x-7/3x^2-29x+56
==3x^2-21x
change sign and add
======-8x+56
======-8x+56
change signs and add. It is 0.
(x-7)(3x-8)
x=8/3
f(8/3) should be 0
3*(64/9)-29(8/3)+56=(192/9)-(696/9)+(504/9)=0
=====================
F(6)=6^3-4(6^2)-72+15=216-144-57
=15. The graph shows when x=6, y=15 by inspection.
