<p>What is the remainder when x^4-5x^3+2x^2-x-3 is divided by x^2? The answer is -x-3 and I know you can’t use the remainder theorem for this because it is not similar.</p>
<p>By the way, will anything this difficult ever appear on the test?</p>
<p>The expression factors to x^2 (x^2 - 5x + 2) - x - 3, so the remainder is -x-3.</p>
<p>I think there’s a good chance that this will appear on the test</p>
