A polynomial f(x)f(x) has a remainder of 1212 when divided by x−4x - 4. If g(x)=(x−2)f(x−2)−5g(x) = (x - 2)f(x - 2) - 5, what is the remainder when g(x)g(x) is divided by x−6x - 6?

Cevap

The correct answer is 43, which is the remainder when g(x) is divided by x - 6.
According to the Remainder Theorem, since the polynomial f(x)f(x) has a remainder of 1212 when divided by x−4x - 4, we have f(4)=12f(4) = 12. To find the remainder when g(x)g(x) is divided by x−6x - 6, we apply the Remainder Theorem again to evaluate g(6)g(6). Substituting x=6x = 6 into the definition of g(x)g(x) gives g(6)=(6−2)f(6−2)−5=4f(4)−5g(6) = (6 - 2)f(6 - 2) - 5 = 4f(4) - 5. Substituting f(4)=12f(4) = 12 yields 4(12)−5=48−5=434(12) - 5 = 48 - 5 = 43.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Apply the Remainder Theorem to the polynomial f(x)f(x).
f(4)=12f(4) = 12
The Remainder Theorem states that the remainder when a polynomial f(x)f(x) is divided by x−cx - c is equal to f(c)f(c).
2
Set up the expression for the remainder of g(x)g(x) when divided by x−6x - 6.
Evaluate g(6)g(6)
By the Remainder Theorem, the remainder of g(x)g(x) divided by x−6x - 6 is equal to g(6)g(6).
3
Substitute x=6x = 6 into the definition of g(x)=(x−2)f(x−2)−5g(x) = (x - 2)f(x - 2) - 5.
g(6)=(6−2)f(6−2)−5=4f(4)−5g(6) = (6 - 2)f(6 - 2) - 5 = 4f(4) - 5
Evaluating g(6)g(6) requires substituting x=6x = 6 into all occurrences of xx in the equation for g(x)g(x).
4
Substitute the value of f(4)f(4) into the expression for g(6)g(6) and simplify.
g(6)=4(12)−5=48−5=43g(6) = 4(12) - 5 = 48 - 5 = 43
Using the value of f(4)=12f(4) = 12 from Step 1 allows us to calculate the numerical value of the remainder.

Instead of evaluating g(6)g(6) directly, one can write f(x)=(x−4)q(x)+12f(x) = (x - 4)q(x) + 12 for some polynomial q(x)q(x). Substituting this expression into the equation for g(x)g(x) gives g(x)=(x−2)[(x−6)q(x−2)+12]−5=(x−2)(x−6)q(x−2)+12(x−2)−5g(x) = (x - 2)[(x - 6)q(x - 2) + 12] - 5 = (x - 2)(x - 6)q(x - 2) + 12(x - 2) - 5. Evaluating this expression at x=6x = 6 makes the first term 00, leaving 12(6−2)−5=12(4)−5=4312(6 - 2) - 5 = 12(4) - 5 = 43.
