For the given polynomial P(x) and the given c, use the remainder theorem to find P(c).
P(x) = x4 + 3x3 - 4x2 + 6x - 38; 2
AS PER REMAINDER THEOREM P(2)= REMAINDER OF P(X) WHEN DIVIDED WITH X-2...SO
2|1+3-4+ 6 -38
.|0+2+10+12+36
-----------------------
..1+5+6 +18-2.............HENCE REMAINDER =-2=P(2)
