What is the remainder when you divide 4x^3 - 5x^2 + 3x - 1 by x - 2?

Answer 1

Answer: D) 17

Explanation:

You can use long division or synthetic division. I am going to use synthetic division.

x - 2 = 0 → x = 2

`2\ |\ 4\quad -5\quad 3\quad -1\\.\ \ |\underline{\ \downarrow \qquad 8\quad 6\ \quad 18\ }\\.\quad 4\ \qquad 3\quad 9\quad \boxed{17}\quad \leftarrow remainder`
