1. When the polynomial P ( x ) is divided by x 1 , the remainder is 5 and when it is divided by x 2 , the remainder is 7. Given that P ( x ) can be written in the form of : ( x 1)( x 2)Q( x ) + Ax + B Where Q ( x ) is the polynomial and A and B are constant, find the remainder when P ( x ) is divided by ( x 1)( x +2) .

2. a) Find the constant k if x +1 is a factor of 2 x 3 + 7 x 2 + kx 3 . With this value of k, solve the equation 2 x 3 + 7 x 2 + kx 3 = 0 .

b) Find the values of the constants A, B, C, and D such that

remainder when P ( x ) is divided by ( x +2) is 30 . Find the values of a and b and express P ( x ) as a product of three linear factors.

5. Find the polynomial in x of third degree that has values of 4,2,6 and 2 when x =0,1,2 and 2 respectively.

6. Show that the polynomial x 4 + 4 x 3 2 x 2 12 x + 9 can be expressed in the form of ( x 2 + bx + c) 2 where b and c are constants. Hence, find all the roots of the equation x 4 + 4 x 3 2 x 2 12 x + 9 = 0 .
