Question

Use Synthetic substitution to find f(3) and f(-4) for f(x)=x^4-8x-11

Answer 1

Answer:

46 and 277

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = $x^{4}$ - 8x - 11 ← substitute x = 3, x = - 4 into f(x)

f(3) = $3^{4}$ - 8(3) - 11 = 81 - 24 - 11 = 81 - 35 = 46

f(- 4) = $(-4)^{4}$ - 8(- 4) - 11 = 256 + 32 - 11 = 288 - 11 = 277
