The video tutorial explains the remainder theorem, which helps determine if a binomial is a factor of a polynomial. It provides four examples: checking if x + 2, x - 1, x, and 2x - 3 are factors of given polynomials. The process involves evaluating the polynomial function at specific values derived from the binomial and checking if the result is zero, indicating the binomial is a factor.

What does the Remainder Theorem state about the remainder when a polynomial f(x) is divided by x - c?

• The remainder is x - c.

• The remainder is f(x).

• The remainder is f(c).

• The remainder is always zero.
