The Remainder Theorem

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

The Remainder Theorem states that dividing a polynomial f(x) by x − k leaves the remainder f(k).

Show

For f(x) = x³ − 3x + 2 divided by x − 2: f(2) = 8 − 6 + 2 = 4, so the remainder is 4 before any division runs — evaluation and division, one number.

Builds on

  • Nothing — this is a starting point.

Unlocks

  • Nothing yet depends on this.
