USE Synthetic Division to evaluate your possible root to be tested! If you do not yet know how to use synthetic division, then use polynomial division with divisor, . Review the Remainder Theorem so you know what the result means.

The synthetic division for the given information:

4   |    1    5    -2    7
    |
    |         4    36   136
