Use the remainder theorem to find P(-2) for P(x)=2x^4+4x^3-5x^2+4.
Specifically, give the quotient and the remainder for the associated division and the value of P(-2).

Using synthetic division you get:
-2)....2....4....-5....0....4
........2....0....-5...10...|..-16

Quotient= 2x^3-5x+10
Remainder= -16
P(-2)= -16
