**Problem Statement:**
Use synthetic division to find the quotient and remainder when \(8x^6 - 4x^4 + 3x^2 + 6\) is divided by \(x - 2\).
**Solution:**
- **The quotient is:** \(8x^5 + 16x^4 + 28x^3 + 56x^2 + 115x + 230\).
- **The remainder is:** 466.
**Feedback:**
Your solution was marked incorrect.
- **Correct answers:**
- Quotient: \(8x^5 + 16x^4 + 28x^3 + 56x^2 + 115x + 230\)
- Remainder: 466
- **Your answers:**
- Quotient: \(8x^5 + 16x^4 + 28x^3 + 56x^2 + 115x + 230\)
- Remainder: \(x - 2\)
**Explanation:**
- The correct remainder is a constant: 466, not \(x - 2\).
**Options:**
- You can choose to attempt a similar question or proceed to the next question.
![**Synthetic Division of Polynomials**
**Problem:**
Use synthetic division to find the quotient and remainder when \(6x^6 - 2x^4 + 9x^2 + 9\) is divided by \(x - 2\).
**Steps to solve:**
1. Write down the coefficients of the polynomial:
- \(6, 0, -2, 0, 9, 0, 9\)
2. Use synthetic division with the divisor \(x - 2\). The value used for synthetic division is \(2\).
3. Set up the synthetic division:
\[
\begin{array}{c|ccccccc}
2 & 6 & 0 & -2 & 0 & 9 & 0 & 9 \\
& & 12 & 24 & 44 & 88 & 194 & 388\\
\hline
& 6 & 12 & 22 & 44 & 97 & 194 & 397 \\
\end{array}
\]
**Explanation of Diagram:**
- The first row under the line are the initial coefficients.
- The second row is the result of each step, where each entry is obtained by multiplying the previous result by 2 and adding it to the next coefficient.
- The bottom row gives the coefficients of the quotient polynomial, and the final number is the remainder.
**Result:**
- The quotient is \(6x^5 + 12x^4 + 22x^3 + 44x^2 + 97x + 194\).
- The remainder is \(397\).
**Conclusion:**
- The polynomial \(6x^6 - 2x^4 + 9x^2 + 9\) divided by \(x - 2\) gives a quotient \(6x^5 + 12x^4 + 22x^3 + 44x^2 + 97x + 194\) with a remainder of \(397\).](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fbebe2c2e-16fb-49da-aed9-3b48c0e7eaf9%2Fe6221f12-86b6-452a-9ce5-df741ba314fd%2Fphzn5rm_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
