What is the remainder when we multiply 3×4, 2×3, x2, 2x, and 9×2 together?

To find the remainder when multiplying the expression 3x^4, 2x^3, x^2, 2x, and 9x^2, we will first calculate the product of these terms and then determine the remainder of the total product.

Let’s break down the steps:

  1. Start with the given expressions: 3x4, 2x3, x2, 2x, and 9x2.
  2. The total product can be expressed as:
    • 3x4 * 2x3 * x2 * 2x * 9x2
  3. Next, let’s simplify this product by grouping like terms:
    • 3 * 2 * 1 * 2 * 9 gives us a coefficient of 108.
    • For the variable parts, we will add the exponents:
      • x4 * x3 * x2 * x1 * x2 results in x(4 + 3 + 2 + 1 + 2) = x12
  4. Thus, the total product simplifies to 108x12.
  5. To find the remainder when dividing by a number, we typically want a divisor. However, since the problem does not specify one, we cannot calculate a numerical remainder with only the expression itself.
  6. If we are to express these terms in modulo arithmetic without a specific modulus, we conclude that the total expression is dependent on any arbitrary chosen divisor for a specific calculation.

In conclusion, without additional context on a divisor, the result simplifies to 108x12, and further computation of a remainder would require a defined modulus.
