Polynomial Factorization and Remainder/Factor Theorem
When a polynomial f(x) is divided by (x-1), the remainder is 5 and when it is divided by (x-2), the remainder is 7. Find the remainder when it is divided by (x-1)(x-2).
Please give detailed answer and don't skip any step.
Thanks.

Re: Polynomial Factorization and Remainder/Factor Theorem
Hi;
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.
