Let h(x)=6x3−5x2+4x−9h(x)=6x^{3}-5x^{2}+4x-9. (a) Divide h(x)h(x) by x−32x-\dfrac{3}{2} and write the quotient and the remainder. (b) Without performing any further division, calculate h ⁣(32)h\!\left(\dfrac{3}{2}\right) and compare it with the remainder obtained in part (a). (c) On the basis of your work in parts (a) and (b), state the relationship between the remainder on dividing a polynomial by x−ax-a and the value of the polynomial at x=ax=a.
