Homework Statement
When a polynomial is divided by (x+2), the remainder is -19. When the same polynomial is divided by (x-1), the remainder is 2. Determine the remainder when the polynomial is divided by (x+2)(x-1).
EDIT: Took out my attempts lol, there were way off.
This was a "Math Contest" question on our textbook so we didn't have to do it because of it's difficulty but I was curious how to get the answer. The answer at the back of the textbook is 7x-5.
I'd really appreciate it if someone could give me a hand with this problem. I can't sleep 'til I figure out the answer. :D Thank you.
