For the given polynomial P(x) and c=1/2 use the remainder theorem to find P(c).

Answer:
-2.90625
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the polynomial function
P(x) = x^5-x^4+x^3-3
If c = 1/2
At x = c
P(1/2) = (1/2)^5-(1/2)^4+(1/2)^3-3
P(1/2) = 1/32 - 1/16 + 1/8 - 3
P(1/2) = 1-2+4-96/32
P(1/2) = -93/32
P(1/2) = -2.90625
Hence P(c) is -2.90625
