Use synthetic division to decide whether the given number k is a zero of the given polynomial function. If it is not give the value of f(k). f(x) = x2 + 2x2 – 3x + 1, k = 2 + i
Is 2+ i a zero of the function? Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice.
The given k is not a zero of the polynomial function, f(2 + i)=0
A.
(Simplify your answer. Express complex numbers in terms of i.)
OB. The given k is a zero of the polynomial function.
