6. A student is trying to use synthetic division to solve

(3x3 – 4x2 – x + 1) ÷ (x + 1).
What value should go in the box next?
 -1 3 -4 -1 1

7. Candice divided x4 + 3x2 – 4x – 2
by x – 2 using synthetic division. Her work is shown below. Identify her mistake.

2 1 3 -4 -2
2 10 12
1 5 6 10

10
X3 + 5x2 + 6x +
x−2
A. Candice wrote the remainder incorrectly.
B. Candice did not use a zero place holder for the x 3 term.
C. Candice added instead of subtracting the rows.
D. Candice should have used – 2 as his division since the divisor is
x – 2.
8. If the remainder after dividing polynomial ( 5 x 3−3 x2 + k ¿ by (x+ 1) is 4, which of
the following must be the value of k?
A. 10
B. 11
C. 12
D. 13

9. Which example correctly illustrates the Factor Theorem?

A. f(x) = x3 – x2 + x – 1 ; f(1) = 0,
so x – 1 is a factor of f(x)
B. f(x) = x3 – x2 + x – 1 ; f(1) = 0,
so x + 1 is a factor of f(x)
C. f(x) = x3 – x2 + x – 1 ; f(2) = 5,
so x – 2 is a factor of f(x)
D. f(x) = x3 – x2 + x – 1 ;
x – 1 is a factor of f(x), so f(-1)= 0.
