Answer:
False
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Polynomial: f(x)
Divisor: (x - 4)
Required
Determine the remainder
To determine the remainder, we have to equate x - 4 to 0
i.e.
[tex]x - 4 = 0[/tex]
Add 4 to both sides
[tex]x - 4+4 = 0+4[/tex]
[tex]x = 0+4[/tex]
[tex]x = 4[/tex]
Substitute 4 for x in f(x) to get the remainder.
So, f(x) becomes f(4)
The result of f(4) is the remainder f(x) when divided by x - 4
Hence, the statement is false.
