Solving Equations and Theorems

The video tutorial covers the factor and remainder theorems, demonstrating how to use them to solve polynomial equations. It begins with an introduction to the theorems, followed by a step-by-step application of the factor theorem to establish a relationship between constants A and B. The remainder theorem is then explained and applied to find the remainder when dividing a polynomial. The tutorial concludes with solving simultaneous equations to determine the values of A and B, and provides additional resources for further learning.
