Question 925046: I need help big time

can anyone help me

For the given polynomial P(x)and c=1/2 use the reminder theorem to find P(c)
P(x)=x^5+x^4-x^3+9
P(c) for the given value of c is equal to ?____

P%28x%29=x%5E5%2Bx%5E4-x%5E3%2B9


P%28c%29=c%5E5%2Bc%5E4-c%5E3%2B9


P%281%2F2%29=%281%2F2%29%5E5%2B%281%2F2%29%5E4-%281%2F2%29%5E3%2B9 Replace every c with c=1%2F2





P%281%2F2%29=1%2F32%2B1%2F16-1%2F8%2B9


P%281%2F2%29=1%2F32%2B2%2F32-4%2F32%2B288%2F32


P%281%2F2%29=%281%2B2-4%2B288%29%2F32


P%281%2F2%29=287%2F32


-------------------------------------------------------


Answer:


So, P%281%2F2%29=287%2F32


P%28c%29=287%2F32 when c+=+1%2F2
