    Section 2.3
    Question 45

    20210911_183242.jpg

    If zero is found at k = 3, one factor of the polynomial is (x - 3).

    Using synthetic division, I found x^2 + 2x - 4 with remainder -5 to be the answer.

    I need to write the answer in the form (x - k)•q(x) + r.

    My final answer is as follows:

    (x^2 + 2x - 4)(x - 3) - 5

    You say?

    Ok. I think it's time to move on, error or perfect answer.
