OpenStudy (anonymous):

divided by (x+2)

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):

=

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):

:/

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

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
