Re: Man that was a hard paper! haha. rant much? but i agree. was a piece of cake... if i didnt blank on how to do the chain rule... most simple thing might have lost me 4 marks... bummed cause was aiming for >115. I thought maths was a subject where you cant memorise anything but the rules...

haha there was defintely enough information there... it just wasnt using numbers. pretty hard test for a mathematics exam... ext 1 was worse.

okay... so the picture is getting clearer and clearer haha. but when you mean degree... do you mean highest power? and you said quotient has a degree equal to degree(P(x)) - degree(Q(x))... did you not mean degree(P(x)) - degree(D(x))?? because then everything makes sense. thanks for your help...

okay... thanks... i get everything except the condition of monic and cubic giving rise to Q(x) being the same as (x-k). can you explain that part? we rushed through all this in class. cheers.

A monic cubic polynomial when divided by x&shy;<SUP>2</SUP> + 4 leaves a remainder of x + 8 and when divided by x leaves a remainder of -4. Find the polynomial in the form ax<SUP>3</SUP> + bx<SUP>2</SUP> + cx + d. I know there is a simple way to do this but i cant see it.
