To find using synthetic substitution, we will set up a synthetic array with the coefficients of the polynomial and the value .Step 1: Write down the coefficients of in descending order of their powers: Step 2: Bring down the first coefficient (1) as it is.Step 3: Multiply the value by the number just brought down (1) and write the result under the next coefficient (-1).Step 4: Add the numbers in the second column to get the new number to bring down.Step 5: Repeat steps 3 and 4 until all coefficients have been used.The synthetic array should look like this: The last row of numbers represents the coefficients of the resulting polynomial after synthetic substitution. The last number (112) is the value of .Therefore, .
