Q:

Given that the polynomial (x2+ ax+ b) leaves that same remainder when by (x –1) or (x + 1) What are the values of a and b respectively?

A) 4 and 0 B) 0 and 3
C) 3 and 0 D)  0 and any interger
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D)  0 and any interger

Explanation:

Since x^2+ ax + b when divided by x-1 or x+1 leaves the same remainder

So on putting x=1 and x=-1 we get the same value

1+a+b = 1-a+b

2a=0

a=0

here b can take any value as it will always get cancelled out
