1. Remainder Theorem states that if a polynomial P(x )is divided by x−a , then the remainder is r =P¿ )
2. Factor Theorem states that if P(a)=0, then x−a is a factor of P(x ).
3. If x−a is factor of P( x ), then P(a) ≠ 0, according to Factor Theorem.
4. The remainder of a polynomial can be found in two different methods namely synthetic division and remainder
theorem.
