How does the remainder theorem work with polynomials

The video tutorial explains the process of synthetic division using a divisor function, X - 2, and demonstrates how to apply the remainder theorem. It covers setting up the division, calculating the remainder, and evaluating the function to confirm the remainder theorem. The tutorial also discusses the pros and cons of using synthetic division and the remainder theorem to find zeros of a polynomial.

Describe the relationship between the remainder and the evaluation of a function at a specific input value.

How can you confirm that a number is a zero of a polynomial using synthetic division?
