Question

Find k if the remainder is 15 in (x^3-7x^2+kx+27)/(x-2)please show me step by step

Answer 1

I once knew how to do this, but then I took an arrow to the knee.

Answer 2

lol. you do this by using long division, or at least i would

Answer 3

i would answer but I don't want to type out each step

Answer 4

Syntheic division.

Answer 5

only about five times faster.

Answer 6

treat k as a constant

Answer 7

isn't synthetic division only useful for finding zeros?

Answer 8

Uhm, no, it's a shortcut to division when the coefficient is 1

Answer 9

it's like, 20 times faster than synthetic division if your polynomial gets large enough.

Answer 10

k=4?
