You don't have to go through all of what the other person stated in order to find the value of k, \r\n" );
document.write( "especially if you know nothing about or was never introduced to synthetic division.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "As x - 2 is a factor, we get: x - 2 = 0, and x = 2, which means that 2 is one of the 4 zeroes\r\n" );
document.write( "of this 4th power function, with the coordinate point, (2, 0).\r\n" );
document.write( "Using the Remainder Theorem, and substituting (2, 0) for (x, y) in the equation gives us:
