Why use synthetic division?
\n" ); document.write( "Why not just substitute $\"-2\"$ for $\"x\"$ in the equation?
\n" ); document.write( " $\"f%28-2%29=4%28-2%29%5E3%2B2%28-2%29%5E2-6%28-2%29%2B2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"f%28-2%29=4%28-8%29%2B2%284%29%2B12%2B2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"f%28-2%29=-32%2B8%2B14\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28f%28-2%29=10%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
