For the years between 1980 and 2012, the function c(x)=0.006x^3−0.48x^2+12.8x+85 approximates the number of countries that atten
ded the summer Olympics x years after 1980. Use the polynomial remainder theorem to approximate the number of countries that attended the Olympics in 2004. Enter the answer in the box.
2004 is 24 years after 1980. The polynomial remainder theorem tells you the remainder from division by x-24 will be the function value c(24). We can find the remainder/function value by evaluating the function rewritten to Horner form:
