The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will use the Remainder Theorem, which states that when a polynomial \( f(p) \) is divided by \( p - a \), the remainder is \( f(a) \). ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the polynomial and the divisor**: - The polynomial is \( f(p) = p^2 - p - 29 \). - The divisor is \( p - 6 \). 2. **Apply the Remainder Theorem**: - According to the Remainder Theorem, we need to evaluate \( f(6) \) to find the remainder when \( f(p) \) is divided by \( p - 6 \). 3. **Substitute \( p = 6 \) into the polynomial**: \[ f(6) = 6^2 - 6 - 29 \] 4. **Calculate \( 6^2 \)**: \[ 6^2 = 36 \] 5. **Substitute back into the equation**: \[ f(6) = 36 - 6 - 29 \] 6. **Perform the subtraction**: - First, calculate \( 36 - 6 \): \[ 36 - 6 = 30 \] - Then, subtract 29 from 30: \[ 30 - 29 = 1 \] 7. **Conclusion**: - The remainder when \( p^2 - p - 29 \) is divided by \( p - 6 \) is \( 1 \). ### Final Answer: When \( p^2 - p - 29 \) is divided by \( p - 6 \), the remainder is indeed \( 1 \). ---
