Use Synthetic Division to Divide F(x) by X - K $$f ( x ) = 3 x ^ { 5 } + 4 x ^ { 4 } + 2 x ^ { 2 } - 1 ; \quad k = - 2$$

question 38

Multiple Choice

Use synthetic division to divide f(x) by x - k for the given value of k. Then express f(x) in the form f(x) = (x - k) q(x) + r for
the given value of k.
- $$f ( x ) = 3 x ^ { 5 } + 4 x ^ { 4 } + 2 x ^ { 2 } - 1 ; \quad k = - 2$$

• A) \(f ( x ) = ( x + 2 ) \left( 3 x ^ { 4 } - 2 x ^ { 3 } + 4 x ^ { 2 } + 6 \right) - 13\)
• B) \(f ( x ) = ( x + 2 ) \left( 3 x ^ { 4 } + 2 x ^ { 3 } + 4 x ^ { 2 } + 8 x \right) - 15\)
• C) \(f ( x ) = ( x + 2 ) \left( 3 x ^ { 4 } - 2 x ^ { 3 } + 4 x ^ { 2 } - 6 x + 12 \right) - 25\)
• D) \(f ( x ) = ( x + 2 ) \left( 3 x ^ { 4 } - 2 x ^ { 3 } + 6 x ^ { 2 } - 12 \right) + 23\)
