Multiple Choice

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

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

Definitions:

Conditioned Stimulus

A previously neutral stimulus that, after becoming associated with the unconditioned stimulus, eventually triggers a conditioned response.

Classical Conditioning

An instructional process where pairing two stimuli repeatedly results in a response first prompted by the second stimulus, but eventually prompted by only the first stimulus.

Extinction

A process in which the conditioned response is weakened when the conditioned stimulus is repeated without the unconditioned stimulus.

Acquisition

The gradual formation of an association between conditioned and unconditioned stimuli.
