"Determine the value of k in the following"
----------------------------------
when is divided by x +2, the remainder is 1.
----------------------------------
Use synthetic division:
-2)....1....k.....2.........-3
........1....k-2..2-2k+4....|..-3 -2(-2k+6)
-------------------------
Remainder: -3 -2(-2k+6) = 1
Solve for "k":
4k -12 = 4
4k = 16
k = 4
