1 answer

To find the function \( f(x) \) given that when \( f(x) \) is divided by \( x - 2 \), the quotient is \( 2x^2 + 8x + 5 \) and the remainder is \( 22 \), we will follow a similar method to the provided example.

  1. Start with the division algorithm: We can express the relationship between the dividend, divisor, quotient, and remainder as follows:

\[ \frac{f(x)}{x - 2} = (2x^2 + 8x + 5) + \frac{22}{x - 2} \]

  1. Multiply both sides by the divisor \( x - 2 \):

\[ f(x) = (2x^2 + 8x + 5)(x - 2) + 22 \]

  1. Now, distribute \( (2x^2 + 8x + 5)(x - 2) \):

\[ f(x) = (2x^2 + 8x + 5)x - (2x^2 + 8x + 5)2 + 22 \]

  1. Calculating \( (2x^2 + 8x + 5)x \):

\[ (2x^2 + 8x + 5)x = 2x^3 + 8x^2 + 5x \]

  1. Calculating \( (2x^2 + 8x + 5)2 \):

\[ (2x^2 + 8x + 5)2 = 4x^2 + 16x + 10 \]

  1. Subtract \( 4x^2 + 16x + 10 \) from \( 2x^3 + 8x^2 + 5x \) and add the remainder \( 22 \):

\[ f(x) = (2x^3 + 8x^2 + 5x) - (4x^2 + 16x + 10) + 22 \]

  1. Combine like terms:

The full expression is:

\[ = 2x^3 + (8x^2 - 4x^2) + (5x - 16x) + (22 - 10) \]

This simplifies to:

\[ = 2x^3 + 4x^2 - 11x + 12 \]

  1. Final result:

Thus, the function \( f(x) \) in standard form is:

\[ \boxed{f(x) = 2x^3 + 4x^2 - 11x + 12} \]
