Use synthetic division to divide f(x) by x - k for the given value of k. Then express f(x) in the form 
for the given value of k.f(x) = 2x3 - 3x2 - 5x + 4; k = 2
A. f(x) = (x - 2)(2x2 +7x + 9) + 22 B. f(x) = (x + 2)(2x2 + x + 3) + 10 C. f(x) = (x - 2)(2x2 + x - 3) - 2 D. f(x) = (x - 2)(2x2 - 7x + 11) + 18
