Hurry please I will mark brainliest if you get it correct!! Evaluate the polynomial for the given value by using synthetic division. P(x) = 2x^3 + 7x^2 − 12 for x = −3 and x = 3

The Remainder Theorem states that when we divide a polynomial

f

(

x

)

by

x

−

c

the remainder

R

equals

f

(

c

)

.

We use synthetic division to divide

f

(

x

)

by

x

−

c

, where

c

=

−

3

.

Step 1. Write only the coefficients of

x

in the dividend inside an upside-down division symbol.

=
