Synthetic Substitution
Evaluate each function at the given value.
1) f ( x) = x 4 + 2 x 3 − 13 x 2 + 15 x + 22 at x = −5
2) f (n) = 5n 5 − 6n 4 − 5n 3 − 10n 2 + 5n + 10 at n = 2
3) f ( x) = x 5 + x 4 − 15 x 3 − 19 x 2 − 6 x + 1 at x = 4
5) f ( x) = x 5 − 5 x 4 − 4 x 3 + 18 x 2 + 9 x + 10 at x = 5
6) f (a) = a 4 + a 3 − 9a 2 + 9a − 9 at a = 2
9) f (a) = −a 5 + 3a 4 + 14a 3 + 8a 2 + 5a + 16 at a = −2
11) f ( x) = x 5 + 3 x 4 − 3 x 3 − 12 x 2 − 13 x − 20 at x = −3
12) f (m) = 3m 5 + 7m 4 − 8m 3 − 5m 2 + 4m − 5 at m = −3
