In this blog post, we explore the Factor and Remainder Theorems, essential concepts in polynomial algebra. The Factor Theorem states that if a polynomial f(x)f(x)f(x) has a root at x=ax = ax=a, then (x−a)(x – a)(x−a) is a factor of f(x)f(x)f(x).
Conversely, the Remainder Theorem states that the remainder of the division of f(x)f(x)f(x) by (x−a)(x – a)(x−a) is equal to f(a)f(a)f(a). This post will provide a clear explanation of both theorems, accompanied by practical examples to illustrate their application in polynomial factoring and evaluation.
