Remainder and Factor Theorem DLP

This document discusses the remainder theorem for polynomial functions. It provides examples of evaluating polynomials at given values of x and determining whether a binomial is a factor of a given polynomial. The key points are: 1) The remainder theorem states that if a polynomial is divided by x-c, then the remainder is the value of the polynomial at x=c. 2) If the remainder is zero, then c is a root of the polynomial. 3) If a constant is a factor of a polynomial, then it is also a factor of the remainder when the polynomial is divided by x-c, where c is an integer.
