11. Given a polynomial with the degree 3. If it is divided by [math]x^2+2x-3[/math], the remainder is 2x + 1. If it is divided by [math]x^2+2x[/math], the remainder is 3x - 2. The polynomial is ...
A. [math]\frac23x^3+\frac43x^2+3x-2[/math]
B. [math]\frac23x^3+\frac43x^2+3x+2[/math]
C. [math]\frac23x^3+\frac43x^2-3x+2[/math]
D. [math]x^3+2x^2+3x-2[/math]
E. [math]2x^3+4x^2+3x+2[/math]
The book says that the answer is A, but I don't understand the part when they suddenly substitute f(-2) = -8, where does that come from? I tried doing it myself and got a (the coefficient of [math]x^3[/math]) as [math]-\frac13[/math]. Can you tell me what's wrong?
