use synthetic division, should be simple enough I'd think \(\large {
x^4-2x^2+4x^2-3 \div x+2\implies x^4-2x^2+4x^2+{\color{brown}{ 0x}}-3 \div x+2
\\ \quad \\
\begin{array}{lllllll}
-2&|&1&-2&4&0&-3\\
&|&\\
\\\hline\\
&&1
\end{array}
}\)

the remainder theorem
OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
ohhh hemmm
OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
ok so.... well
recall that the remainder theorem says that
f(x) divided by (x-a) gives a remainder of f(a)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
f(1)=1^4-2(1)^2+4(1)^2 - 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):
1+2+4-3=
OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
\(\bf f(x)=x^4-2x^2+4x^2-3
\\ \quad \\
\cfrac{f(x)}{x+2}\implies \cfrac{f(x)}{x-({\color{brown}{ -2 }})}
\\ \quad \\
f(x)\textit{ remainder will then be }=f({\color{brown}{ a}})\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so what do I plug in?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
:/

plug in "a" from the form (x-a)
in this case a = -2
notice above
(x+2) will be (x - ( -2))
OpenStudy (anonymous):
well it is synthetic division then apply remainder theorem
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I got -27
