Question

1. In Unit 1 you have learnt about the remainder theorem and long division. Compare and
contrast the usefulness of both.
2. If the result of a polynomial division is 2x
3 − 4x
2 − 5x +
23
x + 2
, make at least three
definitive statements about the ???????? and the ??????? that is involved.
3. Do you agree with the contention that the functions f(x) = x + 2 and g(x) =
x
2 − 4
x − 2
are the same in every respect. Provide evidence to support your position.
4. Do you agree with the statement that “ cubic functions must have at least 1
x-intercept but not more than 3, whereas quadratic functions may or may not have x-intercepts.
Provide evidence to support your position.
