Answer:

  (b)  -36

Step-by-step explanation:

Synthetic division is often performed using a table of the kind shown in the attachment. The coefficients of f(x) are placed across the top, and the x-value to be evaluated is placed at the left. The rule for finding table entries is shown. (The first (left-most) number at the bottom is the leading coefficient of the polynomial.)

This table shows the remainder, which is f(-2), is -36.

__

The equation itself can be rewritten in "Horner form" to facilitate evaluation.

  f(x) = (((-x +2)x -1)x +4)x +8

In this form, substituting for x and doing the evaluation is easier for mental arithmetic. You will notice that the contents of parentheses at each level match the bottom line of the synthetic division table.

  f(-2) = (((-(-2) +2)(-2) -1)(-2) +4)(-2) +8

  = (((4)(-2) -1)(-2) +4)(-2) +8

  = ((-9)(-2) +4)(-2) +8

  = (22)(-2) +8

  = -36

  f(-2) = -36 . . . . remainder from synthetic substitution
