Question

f(x)=-2x^3-4x^2+3x-8, use the remainder theorem to determain f(-1)

Answer 1

to get f(-1), just replace 'x' in f(x) by -1

Answer 2

Can on of you guys help me :D

Answer 3

ok, i think the question states to use remainder theorem, means you need to divide f(x) by x+1, and the remainder would be f(-1)

Answer 4

-13?

Answer 5

yes, thats correct, but make sure you divided f(x) by x+1 to get the remainder as -13

Answer 6

thank you (:
