KEY TAKEAWAYS

Remainder Theorem

✓ Let 𝑝(𝑥) be a polynomial of degree  1 and '𝑎' is any real number.

If 𝑝(𝑥) is divided by (𝑥– 𝑎), then the remainder is 𝑝(𝑎).

Factor Theorem

✓ Let 𝑓(𝑥) be a polynomial of degree  1 and a be any real constant

If 𝑓(𝑎) = 0, then (𝑥 – 𝑎) is a factor of 𝑓(𝑥).

Conversely, if (𝑥 – 𝑎) is a factor of 𝑓(𝑥), then 𝑓(𝑎) = 0.
