- Find the remainder when ##x^{2017} + 1## is divided by ##(x-1)^2##
- Relevant Equations
- Remainder Theorem
##x^{2017} + 1 = Q(x) . (x-1)^2 + ax + b## where ##Q(x)## is the quotient and ##ax+b## is the remainder
##x=1 \rightarrow 2 =a+b##
Then how to proceed?
Thanks
##x=1 \rightarrow 2 =a+b##
Then how to proceed?
