Answer

$\displaystyle \frac{49}{64}$

Work Step by Step

Remainder Theorem: If the polynomial $P(x)$ is divided by $x-c$ , then the remainder is the value $P(c)$ . Important: zeros for missing powers of P(x). $\left.\begin{array}{l} \displaystyle \frac{1}{4} \ \lfloor \\ \\ \\ \\ \end{array}\right.\begin{array}{rrrrr} 1 & 0 & -1 & 1 \\\hline & \displaystyle \frac{1}{4} & \displaystyle \frac{1}{16} & - \displaystyle \frac{15}{64} \\\hline 1 & \displaystyle \frac{1}{4} & - \displaystyle \frac{15}{16} &|\displaystyle \ \ \ \frac{49}{64} \end{array}$ $R(x)=P(\displaystyle \frac{1}{4})=\frac{49}{64}$
