Section 5.5 – The Real Zeros of a Rational FunctionRemainder Theorem
Example:
If f(x) is a polynomial function and is divided by x – c, then the remainder is f(c).
𝑓 (𝑥 )=𝑥2−2 𝑥−15
𝑓 (4 )=42−2 (4 )−15The remainder after dividing f(x) by (x – 4) would be -7.

Section 5.5 – The Real Zeros of a Rational FunctionFactor Theorem
If f(x) is a polynomial function, then x – c is a factor of f(x) if and only if f(c) = 0.
Example:
𝑓 (𝑥 )=𝑥2−2 𝑥−15
𝑓 (−3 )=(−3)2−2 (−3 )−15The remainder after dividing f(x) by (x + 3) would be 0.
