Question

Heres is a student's solution for determining the remainder when x3-4x2 +6x -2 is divided by x+2. Identity the error , then write the correct solution 

Let P(x)=  x3-4x2 +6x -2 

when P(x) is divided by x+2, the remainder is P(2).

P(2)=(2)3- 4(2)2+6 (2) -2

=(8) - 4(4) + 5(2) -2 

=8 -16 + 12 -2 

= 2 

The remainder is 2
