Use synthetic division and the remainder theorem to find p ( a).
p(x)= x^3+2 x^2-3x+5, a=3

For given polynomial and when a=3 is

Step-by-step explanation:

Given polynomial is

Remainder Theorem:

To evaluate the function f(x) for a given number "a" you can divide that function by x - a and your remainder will be equal to f(a). Note that the remainder theorem only works when a function is divided by a linear polynomial, which is of the form x + number or x - number.

By using synthetic division for given polynomial and factor is (x-a)    (here x-3 is a factor given)

_3|    1      2       -3         5

        0     3       15       36

      ___________________

         1      5       12      | 41

Given polynomial can be written as

To find P(a):

put a=3

Therefore for given polynomial when a=3 is  

answer: the sun

explanation:

water cycle describes the evaporation of water from earth's surface, formation of clouds and precipitation water back onto the surface of earth. seventy percent of the earth is covered with water in the form of seas and oceans. the heat of the sun causes the evaporation of water from the surface of the ocean. the water vapors rise and condense to form water droplets. the collection of these water droplets form clouds which rain down again.

the evaporation of the oceans surface water as part of the water cycle is caused by the sun
