Create your own third degree polynomial that when divided by x + 2 has a remainder of –4.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh it has to be a third degree polynomial.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nevermind. forgot about that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This can work too: x^2(x+2)-4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah what creative-huh said multiply and then subtract 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Isn't a third degree polynomial a polynomial whose degree is 3? For example 2x^3+3x^2+6x+5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, if you expand that expression I wrote earlier, it becomes x^3+2x^2-4 You don't need to worry about the x-term. Third deg polynomial means that the polynomial's greatest power of x must be 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohh ohkay I understand now , thank you! :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem :)
