i went to a math conference type thing in lismore today and there were a few schools there and there were presenters who talked about different topics.
one of the topics was ploynomials and i was suprised by how many people couldnt do the following question
P(x)=(x+1)(x-3)Q(x) + a(x+1) + b. where Q(x) is a polynomial and a, b are real numbers. When P(x) is divided by (x+1) the remainder is -11. When P(x) is divided by (x-3) the remainder is 1.
what is the value of b???
this i thought was an easy question. but most the schools there couldnt get it.
so don't answer the question, i just wanna know if u can do it or not, and if u think it was easy or hard
