    Polynomial long division
    Notes
    You may want to refresh your memory on polynomial long division and synthetic division to better understand this lesson. The remainder theorem simply states that if a polynomial f(x) is divided by a linear expression x-r, the value of f(r) is equal to the remainder.
    \cdot When a polynomial, P(x)P(x), is divided by (xa)(x-a): Remainder =P(a)=P(a)
    \cdot When a polynomial, P(x)P(x), is divided by (axb)(ax-b): Remainder =P(ba)=P(\frac{b}{a})
