Use synthetic division and the Remainder Theorem to evaluate $P(c)$. $$P(x)=5 x^{4}+30 x^{3}-40 x^{2}+36 x+14, \quad c=-7$$
Added by Ruben A.
Step 1
We will use synthetic division to divide $P(x)$ by $(x-c)$, which is $(x+7)$ in this case. Write the coefficients of $P(x)$ and the value of $c$ as follows: ``` -7 | 5 30 -40 36 14 ``` Show more…
