Question 1156575: 1. Use synthetic division to divide p(x) = x^4 - 10x^2 - 2x + 4 by x + 3
2. Let f(x) = 3x^3 + 8x^2 + 5x - 7. Use synthetic division to find f(-2)
3. Use synthetic division to factor f(x) = x^3 - 5x^2 - x + 5 completely. Then sketch the graph of f. [Hint: Guess an initial zero of f(x). Then apply synthetic division.]
4. Use synthetic division to perform the division.
(a) x^3 + 3x^2 + 11x + 9 by x + 1
(b) x^4 + 4x^3 + 2x^2 + 9x + 4 by x + 4

-1 found to be a root.
That quadratic factor is factorable into .
The roots are -1, 1, and 5.
Degree is odd (three) and lead coefficient is positive, telling you something about shape - decreases without end to the left; increases to the right without end,...
