P ( 4 ) = 2 x 3 4 x 2 + 2 x 1 write the function
= 2 ( 4 ) 3 4 ( 4 ) 2 + 2 ( 4 ) 1 substitute the values
=2(-64)-4(16)+2(-4)-1 evaluate the exponents
-128-64-8-1 perform multiplication
-201 remainder
Perform synthetic division to determine the remainder:
polyhorner scheme [ x = 4 ] { 2 x 3 4 x 2 + 2 x 1 }
Result:
P(-4)=-201
