Question

Which of the following options represents the desired result when using synthetic division to find the upper bound of the polynomial F(x)= x^3-2x^2-5x+6 ?

Answer 1

The result of the equation F(x)=x³-2x²-5x+6 when using synthetic division to find the upper bound of the polynomial. Your goal in applying synthetic division is that the remainder would have an equivalent number of zero, otherwise the divisor would give you a remainder. In the choices above, the divisor that would give you a zero is 3. The answer is letter C.
