Use synthetic division to decide whether the given number k is a zero of the polynomial function. If it is not, give the value of f(k). f(x) = x2 - 18x + 82, k = 9 - i
Is 9-i a zero of the function? Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice.
O A. The given k is not a zero of the polynomial function, f(9- i )=
(Type an exact answer, using radicals and i as needed.)
B. The given k is a zero of the polynomial function.
