Answer:
x²-4x+4 r.8
Step-by-step explanation:
- first thing to do is to arrange the polynomial to descending form/powers: k³-5k²+8k+4
- then tranpose the value of the divisor, so that will be k=1
- to perform the synthetic division, you must check first if the polynomial is on its descending form.
- next, always tranpose the value of the divisor.
- lastly, perform synthetic division
1| 1 -5 8 4
1 -4 4
1 -4 4 8
we can now express the given polynomial and the answer will be: x²-4x+4 r.8
*we know that (r.) means remainder*
