Answer:
The remainder is 12.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Polynomial Remainder Theorem
The remainder of the division of a polynomial f(x) by (x-a) is equal to f(a).
We are given the polynomial:
[tex]p (x ) = x^3 - 3x^2 - 10x + 24[/tex]
And we are required to find the remainder when p(x) is divided by (x-1).
We can simply apply the polynomial remainder theorem, substituting x for 1 in the polynomial:
[tex]Remainder=p (1 ) = 1^3 - 3\cdot 1^2 - 10(1) + 24[/tex]
Remainder= 1 - 3 - 10 + 24 = 12
The remainder is 12.
