When a polynomial P(x) is divided by (x-k) and there is a remainder, r.

∴P(k) = r

Proof: P(x) = Q(x) (x-k) + rwhen x=k

P(k) =

Example 1 What is the remainder when x 5-2x2+7 is divided by x-2?

A polynomial function P(x) has a factor (x-k) if and only if the remainder is 0.

factors of the constant

factors of the leading coefficient

Remainder Theorem

k is the root

Factor Theoremthe remainder is 0

∴P(k) =0

Selecting values of k to test

Example 2 Factor Fully

a)

b)

Choose factors of the constant to substitute using factor theorem. Trial and error until you find the remainder of 0.

Always try to factor before using factor theorem
