Prove that if \(P(x) = x^4 - 5x^3 + 6x^2\) has a remainder of \(0\) when divided by \(x - 3\), that \(x - 3\) is a factor.
💡 Hint: Don't forget to substitute \\(3\\) into \\(P(x)\\).
Given \(P(x) \) is divided by \(x - 1\), find \(P(x)\) for it to yield a remainder of \(4\). Write a polynomial.
💡 Hint: Incorporate any polynomial as \\(Q(x)\\) such that this holds true.
