What is this answer?

Question

Use synthetic division to find the function value.​ Then, check your work using a graphing calculator.

​f(x)=x4−x3−16x2+36x−33​; Find ​f(3​).

Answer 1

When you perform synthetic division on this problem, you will end up with a remainder. That is your answer.

You can check your answer by plugging x= 3 in the above function.

f(x) = x⁴ - x³-16x²+36x-33

f(3) = 3⁴ - 3³- 16 (3)² + 36(3) - 33

= -15
