Question

1.

Answer 1

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Please write this function as P(x) = x^3 + 7x^2 + 4x + 0.  This third order function has four coefficients.  We set up synthetic division with -2 as the divisor:

-2   /   1    7    4    0

              -2   -10  12

     ----------------------

        1      5     -6  12

The remainder is 12.  Accordng to the Remainder Theorem, the value of P(x) at x = -2 is 12.
