How should I solve this equation?
Please explain each step.
Write the function in the form f(x) = (x − k)q(x) + r for the given value of k.
f(x) = x^3 − 4x^2 − 11x + 9, k = −2
Thank you.

Use polynomial long division to divide by which is to say by .

Then, is the quotient obtained and is the rational expression formed by the remainder from the division process over the divisor.

See Purple Math Polynomial Long Division if you need a refresher on Polynomial Long Division.
