12. Use the remainder theorem to find P (-2) for P(x) =x^3+2x^2-x-7. Specifically, give the quotient and the remainder for the associated division and the value of P (-2).
Quotient =? Remainder =?  P (-2) =?

Steve · Answer

P(-2) is the remainder when P(x) is divided by (x+2) P(-2) = -5, so P(x) = (x+2)(x^2-1) - 5
