Question
Find the remainder (without division) on dividing f(x) by (2x + 1) where f(x) = 3x3 – 7x2 + 4x + 11

Solution
Let 2x + 1 = 0, then x =
Substituting the value of x in f(x):
f(x) = 3x3 – 7x2 + 4x + 11
= `3(-1/2)^3 -7(-1/2)^2 + 4(-1/2) + 11`
= `3(-1/8) -7(1/4) + 4(-1/2) + 11`
= `-(3)/(8) - (7)/(4) - 2 + 11`
= `(-3 - 14 - 16 + 88)/(8)`
= `(55)/(8)`
= `6(7)/(8)`
∴ Remainder = `6(7)/(8)`.
