**Problem Statement:** Let \( P(x) = 2 - 2x^2 + 3x^5 - 4x^3 \). Use synthetic division to find the value \( P(2i) \). **Options:** a. \( 10 - 128i \) b. \( 76 + 128i \) c. \( 10 + 128i \) d. \( 138 \) e. none of these --- **Instructions for Students:** 1. Employ synthetic division as a technique to evaluate the polynomial \( P(x) \) at \( x = 2i \). 2. Analyze the options provided and select the correct value of \( P(2i) \) from the given choices. 3. Engage in further practice by listing all possible rational zeros using the Rational Root Theorem (additional instruction indicated in the problem). This exercise aims to enhance your skills in polynomial evaluation, complex numbers, and synthetic division.
