Find the reminder when x3bx2+6xbx^3-bx^2+6x-bis divided by xbx-b

Ab2+4b^2 + 4

B5b

C2b - 3

D3b + 6

Answer:

B. 5b

Read Explanation:

when a polynomial p(x) is divided by (x - a) for some number a , the reminder r = p(a)

When p(a) = 0 then (x -a) is a factor of p(x)

p(x)=x3bx2+6xbp(x)=x^3-bx^2+6x-b

xb=0    x=bx-b=0\implies{x=b}

p(b)=b3b×b2+6bbp(b)=b^3-b\times{b^2}+6b-b

=b3b3+6bb=b^3-b^3+6b-b

=5b=5b
