Hello
we are given a function and asked to find the reminder when it is divided by a binomial
According to the remainder theorem, f(a) would be the remainder from dividing f(x) by x -a
[tex]\begin{gathered} x-a=x-2 \\ a=2 \end{gathered}[/tex]
but our f(x) is given as
[tex]\begin{gathered} f(x)=2x^3+7x^2-8x+3 \\ a=2 \\ \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]f(a)=f(2)=2(2)^3+7(2)^2-8(2)+3=31[/tex]
From the calculation above, the answer to this question is 31
