<h3>Answer:   -2</h3>

===============================================

Explanation:

We use the remainder theorem. This is the idea where if we divide P(x) over (x-k), then the remainder is P(k).

Comparing x+1 to x-k shows that k = -1

It might help to rewrite x+1 as x-(-1) to get it into the form x-k better.

Plug this k value into the function

f(x) = 2x^6 + 3x^5 - 1

f(-1) = 2(-1)^2 + 3(-1)^5 - 1

f(-1) = 2(1) + 3(-1) - 1

f(-1) = 2 - 3 - 1

f(-1) = -1 - 1

f(-1) =-2

The remainder is -2

We can confirm this through synthetic division or polynomial long division.

Answer:

f(x) for x = -1 is -1+6= 5

f(x) for x = 3 is -3+6= 3

30 FREE pts Which equation could have been used to create this function table? A. y = 5x B. y = x + 1 C. y = x + 2 D. y = 2x 
Crank
The answer is choice D.

y = 2x

I will show two reasons why this equation is correct.

Let x = 1

y = 2(1)

y = 2

The first point in the table is (1,2).

In the table, x = 3 is the second choice.

y = 2(3)

y = 6

The second point in the table is (3,6).

Answer: y = 2x
