Q. The polynomial function f f is defined as f(c)=(ck)(c24c+4) f(c)=(c-k)\left(c^{2}-4 c+4\right) where k k is a constant. The value 22 is a zero of f f . What is the remainder f(c) f(c) when divided by (c2) (c-2) ?
  1. Plug c=2c=2: Since 22 is a zero of ff, plug c=2c=2 into the polynomial to find the remainder.\newlinef(2)=(2k)(2242+4)f(2) = (2-k)(2^2 - 4\cdot2 + 4)
  2. Simplify equation: Simplify the equation. f(2)=(2k)(48+4)f(2) = (2-k)(4 - 8 + 4)
  3. Continue simplifying: Continue simplifying. f(2)=(2k)(0)f(2) = (2-k)(0)
  4. Find remainder: Since anything multiplied by 00 is 00, the remainder is 00.\newlinef(2)=0f(2) = 0
