<PRE><B>Question 209058</B>
find the value of k so that the remainder of 
(-kx^4 - 146x^2 + 32)divided by (x-4)is 0 
A)37/4 
B)9 
C)-37/4 
D)-9
----------------------------
Using synthetic division:
4)....-k....0....-146....0....32
.........-k...-4k.....-146-16k....|32+4(-146-16k)

------------------
Remainder: 32 - 584 - 64k = 0
64k = -552
k = -(69/8)
