Hi. I need my work checked for this function please.
The given function is f(x) = 5x^5 + 10x^4 + 3x^3 + 8x^2 - 6x - 3
We want to find f(c) when c = 3
This means the remainder when f(x) is divided by x-3
We perform the synthetic division:
5 10 3 8 -6 -3
3| 15 75 234 726 2160
———————————————-
5 25 78 242 720 2157
Therefore, the remainder is 2157.
