use synthetic division and the remainder theorem to find p(a), p(X)=x^4-9x^3+5x^2-7x+10;a=-4

Question

a) - 4

b) - 438

c) 950

d) 50

Answer 1

Given P(x) = x^4-9x^3+5x^2-7x+10

I'm supposed to be doing synthetic division using "-4" as the divisor.

From the remainder therom p(x) = (x-a)q(x)+r(x)

P(-4) = 950

Option "c" is correct answer.
