Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Perform the following division problem using both long division and synthetic division to show that they both give the same answer. Show your work.
Attached in Figure 1
The quotient is: x^4+8
and the remainder is: 0
b) Second using a graphing calculator graph f(x)=x 5 - 8x 4 +8x - 64. Try Desmos.com
The graph is shown in Figure 2
c) Analyze the graph. Do you see a connection between the x - 8 and the graph? What is the connection?
The graph shows that the value of x is 8, for any value of y.
x-8 =0 => x=8 The value of x is 8 (The graph is attached in figure 3)
Both have same graph.
