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 the first number in the synthetic array.Step 3: Multiply the number just brought down (1) by the value of (-3) and write the result below the next coefficient (-1).Step 4: Add the numbers in the second column to get the next number in the synthetic array.Step 5: Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each column.The synthetic array should look like this: Therefore, the completed synthetic array is: So, the correct values or expressions to complete the synthetic array are:Item 1: -3Item 2: 1Item 3: -1Item 4: 1Item 5: -1Item 6: 10Item 7: 40
