Model F: Consider the polynomials P(x) = (3a + b) x⁵ - (4a + 2b) x³ - (a - 1) x + 2 and Q(x) = (2a) x⁴ + (2b) x² + bx - 1. Knowing that both are divisible by (x - 1), select the alternative that contains the correct value of a + b: Ⓐ -3 Ⓑ -1 Ⓒ 0 Ⓓ 1 Ⓔ 3 00:00 Reading the Statement and Interpreting the Question 01:02 Review of the Remainder Theorem 02:18 Application of the Remainder Theorem to P(x) 03:53 Application of the Remainder Theorem to Q(x) 4:44 Solving the System of Equations 6:14 Solved by Briot-Ruffini 09:29 Like, Comment and Share 10:31 End #espcex #espcexpreviousexams #mathematics #solvedquestion #commentedquestion #competition #military #polynomials #theorems Learn the Remainder Theorem with Quico from Chaves: • Quico and the Remainder Theorem
