Question

Use synthetic division to find the result when 4x⁴ – 9x³ + 13x² + x − 13 is divided by x - 1. ​

Answer 1

4x³ - 5x² + 8x + 9 + (-4)/(x - 1)

Explanation:

1 | 4 -9 13 1 -13

| 4 -5 8 9

-------------------------------

4 -5 8 9 -4

(4x⁴ – 9x³ + 13x² + x − 13) ÷ (x - 1) = 4x³ - 5x² + 8x + 9 + (-4)/(x - 1)
