• - 4

• 3

• - 3

Andy divided x⁴ + 3x² – 4x – 2

by x – 2 using synthetic division. Her work is shown below. Identify her mistake.

• Andy wrote the remainder incorrectly.

• Andy did not use a zero-place holder for the x³ term.

• Andy added instead of subtracting the rows.

• Andy should have used – 2 as his division since the divisor is

  x – 2.

What is the remainder?

• 5x - 5

• 0
