Answer

Remainder is equal to 0

Work Step by Step

The question asks for the remainder of the polynomial Q(x) divided by a first-degree polynomial. Given $Q(x) = x^{101} - x^4 + 2$ and $x+1$ By remainder theorem, dividing this polynomial by (x-c) is equivalent to P(c) Thus substitute Q(-1) into the equation $Q(-1) = (-1)^{101} - (-1)^4 + 2 = 0 $ Thus the remainder is 0
