1. **Problem 1:** Find the remainder when $P(x) = 4x^3 - 4x + 1$ is divided by $2x - 3$.
2. Use the Remainder Theorem: The remainder when a polynomial $P(x)$ is divided by a linear divisor $ax - b$ is $P\left(\frac{b}{a}\right)$.
3. Here, divisor is $2x - 3$, so $a=2$, $b=3$. Evaluate $P\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)$:
$$P\left(\frac{3}{2}\right) = 4\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^3 - 4\left(\frac{3}{2}\right) + 1$$
4. Calculate powers and multiply:
$$= 4 \times \frac{27}{8} - 4 \times \frac{3}{2} + 1 = \frac{108}{8} - 6 + 1 = \frac{27}{2} - 5$$
5. Convert $5$ to halves: $5 = \frac{10}{2}$, so:
$$\frac{27}{2} - \frac{10}{2} = \frac{17}{2}$$
6. So, the remainder is $\frac{17}{2}$.
7. **Problem 2:** Which binomial is a factor of $x^3 - 6x^2 + 11x - 6$?
8. Use the Factor Theorem: If $(x - c)$ is a factor, then $P(c) = 0$.
9. Test each candidate:
- For $x + 1$, test $x = -1$:
$$(-1)^3 - 6(-1)^2 + 11(-1) - 6 = -1 - 6 - 11 - 6 = -24 \neq 0$$
- For $x - 1$, test $x = 1$:
$$1 - 6 + 11 - 6 = 0$$
10. Since $P(1) = 0$, $x - 1$ is a factor.
11. **Problem 3:** Which set of values for $x$ should be tested to find possible zeros of $2x^3 - 3x^2 + 3x - 10$?
12. Use Rational Root Theorem: Possible zeros are $\pm$ factors of constant term over factors of leading coefficient.
13. Constant term is $-10$, factors: $\pm1, \pm2, \pm5, \pm10$.
14. Leading coefficient is $2$, factors: $\pm1, \pm2$.
15. Possible zeros:
$$\pm1, \pm\frac{1}{2}, \pm2, \pm5, \pm\frac{5}{2}, \pm10$$
**Final answers:**
- Remainder when dividing $P(x)$ by $2x - 3$ is $\frac{17}{2}$.
- The binomial factor of $x^3 - 6x^2 + 11x - 6$ is $x - 1$.
- Possible zeros to test for $2x^3 - 3x^2 + 3x - 10$ are $\pm1, \pm\frac{1}{2}, \pm2, \pm5, \pm\frac{5}{2}, \pm10$.
