Q. g(w)=(w+13)3(w+19)2The polynomial function g is defined. When g(w) is divided by (w+16), the remainder is r. What is the value of ∣r∣ ?
Use Remainder Theorem: To find the remainder when g(w) is divided by (w+16), we can use the Remainder Theorem. The Remainder Theorem states that if a polynomial f(x) is divided by (x−c), the remainder is f(c). In this case, we need to evaluate g(−16).
Substitute w=−16: Let's substitute w=−16 into the function g(w) to find the remainder r.g(w)=(w+13)3(w+19)2r=g(−16)=((−16)+13)3((−16)+19)2
Calculate values: Now we calculate the values inside the parentheses. r=(−3)3(3)2
Calculate powers: Next, we calculate the powers. r=(−27)(9)
Multiply numbers: Now we multiply the two numbers to find the remainder r.r=−27×9r=−243
Find absolute value: The question asks for the absolute value of r, which is ∣r∣.∣r∣=∣−243∣
Calculate absolute value: Finally, we calculate the absolute value of −243.∣r∣=243
