Question
In Exercises 35 to 44 , use synthetic division and the Factor Theorem to determine whether the given binomial is a factor of $P(x)$.$$P(x)=x^{4}-25 x^{2}+144, \quad x-3$$
Step 1
To set up the synthetic division, we'll write the coefficients of the polynomial P(x) in descending order of their powers. Since there's no x^3 term, we'll write a 0 as its coefficient. So, we have: ``` ______________________ 3 | 1 0 -25 0 144 ``` Show more…
