Solution
f(x) = 2x3 – x2 – 3x + 5
g(x) = 2x + 1
Let 2x + 1 = 0,
then x = `(-1)/(2)`
Then remainder will be
`f((-1)/(2)) = 2((-1)/(2))^3 - ((-1)/(2))^2 -3((-1)/(2)) + 5`
= `2 xx (-1)/(8) - (1)/(4) + (3)/(2) + 5`
= `(-1)/(4) - (1)/(4) + (3)/(2) + 5`
= `(-1 -1 + 6 + 20)/(4)`
= `(24)/(4)`
= 6
∴ Remainder = 6.
