Question

Determine whether 2 is a zero of the polynomial P(x) = 4x^3 – 5x^2 + 3x – 10 by using the Remainder Theorem. Explain how the Remainder Theorem is useful in finding the zeros of a polynomial function.

Answer 1

check to see if
\[f(2)=0\] although i guess they want you to try synthetic division, which is very easy but hard to write here.
