![**Problem Statement:**
If \( x - 2 \) is a factor of \( x^4 - x^3 - mx^2 - 4 \), find the value of \( m \). Show all work to receive credit for your answer.
---
**Solution Details:**
When a polynomial \( f(x) \) has \( x - a \) as a factor, it means that \( f(a) = 0 \). For this problem, set \( a = 2 \) since \( x - 2 \) is the given factor.
1. **Substitute 2 into the polynomial:**
\[
f(x) = x^4 - x^3 - mx^2 - 4
\]
\[
f(2) = 2^4 - 2^3 - m(2^2) - 4
\]
2. **Calculate each term:**
\[
2^4 = 16, \quad 2^3 = 8, \quad 2^2 = 4
\]
3. **Substitute these values back into the equation:**
\[
f(2) = 16 - 8 - 4m - 4
\]
4. **Simplify the expression:**
\[
f(2) = 16 - 8 - 4m - 4 = 4 - 4m
\]
5. **Set the equation equal to zero (because \( f(2) = 0 \)):**
\[
4 - 4m = 0
\]
6. **Solve for \( m \):**
\[
4 = 4m
\]
\[
m = 1
\]
Therefore, the value of \( m \) is \( 1 \).](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/3fe4e0d9-a441-4076-9243-8e98c4a90bfe/13e0ab81-d561-479e-bac7-cee6f3b4f359/fup8reg_processed.jpeg)
