Explanation

The remainder theorem states that when a polynomial P(x) is divided by (x - a), for some number a, the remainder r is equal to P(a). Also states that when P(a) = 0, then (x - a) is a factor of P(x).

Then, let us see the result of evaluating the given polynomial when x = 2.

[tex]\begin{gathered} x=2 \\ F\lparen x)=x^4−2x^3+3x^2−ax+3 \\ F(2)=2^4−2(2)^3+3(2)^2−a(2)+3 \end{gathered}[/tex]
