Evaluate function at the given value using the remainder theorem.
f(a)=a^4-2a^3-10a^2-7a at a=-2

Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]f(a)=a^4-2a^3 -10a^2 -7a \\\\f(-2) = (-2)^4-2(-2)^3 -10(-2)^2 -7(-2)\\\\~~~~~~~~~=16-2(-8)-10(4)+14\\\\~~~~~~~~~=30+16-40\\\\~~~~~~~~~=46-40\\\\~~~~~~~~~=6[/tex]
