If P(x) is divided by x-a, then
a. P(a)=divisor
b. P(a)=dividend
c. P(a)=quotient
d. P(a)=remainder​

Answer:

D.P(a)=remainder

Step-by-step explanation:

p(x)=(x-a)q(x)+r(x)

where q(x) is the quotient when f(x) is divided by x-a and r(x)

The Remainder Theorem says that we can restate the polynomial in terms of the divisor, and then evaluate the polynomial

x=a

hence putting it we get

p(a)=0*q(a)+r(a)

p(a)=r(a)

hence the remainder is p(a)
