Answer

$x^{3}+4x^{2}+16x+64$

Work Step by Step

Dividing with $x-c\qquad...\qquad c=4.$ Don't forget to place 0's for the missing terms. $\begin{array}{rrrrrrrr} \underline{4}| &1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & -256 & & & \\ & & 4 & 16 & 64 & 256 & & & \\ & --& -- &-- &-- &-- & & & \\ &1 & 4 & 16 & 64 & 0 & & & \end{array}$ Quotient = $ x^{3}+4x^{2}+16x+64$ Remainder = $0$ $\displaystyle \frac{dividend}{divisor}=quotient+\frac{remainder}{divisor}$ $\displaystyle \frac{x^{4}-256}{x-4}$ = $x^{3}+4x^{2}+16x+64$
