Consider this polynomial, where a is an unknown real number. p(t) = x^4 +5x^3 + ax^2 - 3x + 11
The remainder of the quotient of P(x), and (x+ 1) is 17.
Braulio uses synthetic division to find the value of a, and Zahra uses the remainder theorem to find the value of a.

Brauilo is wrong because he divided by (x+1) instead of (x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The remainder Theorem states that

if polynomial f(x) is divided by binomial x-a, the remainder will equal f(a). The factor is positive so the binomial is the same as

which is why we divide by -1, or subsitue -1 into the equation p(x).

Braulio incorrectly found the value of a because he should have used -1 instead of 1.

Zahra incorrectly found the value of 'a' because she incorrectly solved the powers to (-1).
