Explanation
Given the expression
[tex]\frac{z^{2}+3z+1}{z-2}[/tex]We are asked to find the remainder. We can use the remainder theorem. This can be seen below.
According to this theorem, if we divide a polynomial P(x) by a factor ( x – a); that isn't essentially an element of the polynomial; you will find a smaller polynomial along with a remainder.
All we need to do is to substitute the value of (a) in the numerator to get the remainder. a is represented in the denominator.
Therefore, we will have;
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ Remainder =}2^2+3(2)+1 \\ =4+6+1 \\ =10+1 \\ =11 \end{gathered}[/tex]
