A cubic polynomialof variable x is such that p(1)=3,p(2)=5, p(3)=7. Then find the remainder when it is divided by x2-3x+2.

Dear Student ,
Here is the solution for asked query :

Let the cubic polynomial be px .Let the quotient be qx .Let the remainder be ax+b .So,px=qx x2-3x+2+ax+bAt x=1p1=q1 1-3+2+a+b3=a+ba+b=3  ...1At x=2p2=q2 4-6+2 +2a+b5=2a+b2a+b=5   ...2Subtracting 1 from 2 , we geta=2Substituing the value of a in 1 , we get2+b=3b=1So , remainder is 2x+1 .
