We have P(x)P(x) an polynomial that meets the conditions:rest of dividing P(x)P(x) with x-1x1 is 3 and (x-1)P(x)+xP(x+2)=1(x1)P(x)+xP(x+2)=1.How to find rest of dividing P(x)P(x) with g=x^2-4x+3g=x24x+3?

-x+4x+4

Explanation:

P(x)=Q(x)g(x)+r(x) = Q(x)g(x) + ax+bP(x)=Q(x)g(x)+r(x)=Q(x)g(x)+ax+b

and g(x)=(x-1)(x-3)g(x)=(x1)(x3)

P(1)=a+b= 3P(1)=a+b=3 and
P(3)=3a+bP(3)=3a+b

but

(1-1)P(1)+1P(3)=1 rArr P(3) = 1(11)P(1)+1P(3)=1P(3)=1 then

{(a+b=3),(3a+b=1):}

Solving

a=-1,b=4 and the division remainder is

r(x)=-x+4
