The polynomial function f is defined as f(c)=(c−k)(c2−4c+4) where k is a constant. The value 2 is a zero of f. What is the remainder f(c) when divided by (c−2) ?
Q. The polynomial function f is defined as f(c)=(c−k)(c2−4c+4) where k is a constant. The value 2 is a zero of f. What is the remainder f(c) when divided by (c−2) ?
Plug c=2: Since 2 is a zero of f, plug c=2 into the polynomial to find the remainder.f(2)=(2−k)(22−4⋅2+4)
Simplify equation: Simplify the equation. f(2)=(2−k)(4−8+4)
