Use the remainder theorem to find P(-2) for P(x) = -2x - 4x? -5.Specifically, give the guotient and the remainder for the associated division and the value of P(-2).DOQuotient - 0Х5?Remainder - IP(-2) - 0

ok

P(x) = -2x^3 -4x^2 - 5

P(-2) = -2(-2)^3 - 4(-2)^2 - 5

P(-2) = -2(-8) - 4(4) - 5

P(-2) = 16 - 16 - 5

P(-2) = -5

ok

Quotient = -2x^2

Remainder = -5

P(-2) = -5
