use synthetic division to evaluate f(x)=x^3-6x+1 for x=6. f(6)=____​

Sagot :

Given: x=6

By substituting value of x as 6 in the given expression, we get:

[tex]f(6) = {x}^{3} - 6x + 1[/tex]

[tex]→f(6) = {6}^{3} + (6 \times 6) - 1[/tex]

[tex]→f(6) = 216 - 36 + 1[/tex]

Now, using integer sign property,

[tex]→f(6) = 216 - 35[/tex]

[tex]→f(6) = 181[/tex]

Therefore, f(6)=181
