Question

What does the remainder theorem mean?

Answer 1

What do you want to know about it?

Explanation:

The remainder theorem means what it says.

If a polynomial `P(x)` is divided by `x-n`, then the remainder is `P(n)`.

So, for example if `P(x) = 3x^4-7x^2+2x-8` is divided by `x-3`, the the remainder is `P(3)`.
