Use synthetic division to find P(-1) for P(x) = 4x^3 − 5x^2 + 6x – 8
-----------------------
-1)....4....-5....6....-8
.......4....-9....15...|..-23
What is the divisor polynomial?:: x+1
--------------------------------------------
What is the quotient polynomial?:: 4x^2 -9x + 15
--------------------------------------------
What is the remainder?:: -23
