Use the zeros to factor f over the real numbers. I know the possible factors of the constant are 1, 2, 4, 8, -1, -2, -4, -8. But using the remainder theorem, none of them are actually possible factors (none of those factors have a remainder of 0). But when I graph it on a graphing calculator, there are zeros (x-intercepts). So I'm a little confused here. Thank you.

I am supposed to solve and state whether the binomial is a factor of the polynomial. I used synthetic division to drop the coefficients and got: 2] 16 -32 0 0 -81 162 0 32 0 0 0 -162 _______________________ 16 0 0 0 0 -81 0 (The zeroes in the top row are because there are no x-cubed and x-squared variables, therefore they're respresented by a zero, right?) Multiple choice allowed me the answers of: A - 1348; no B - 0; yes C - 700; yes D - 0; no I am pretty sure the answer is C because my remainder is zero, and x-2 is a factor of the original equation.
