USE SYNTHETIC DIVISION TO DIVIDE

x4- 10x2 - 2x + 4 by x + 3

-3 1 0 -10 -2 4
-3 9 3 -3
1 -3 -1 1 1
ANSWER: x3 – 3x2 –x + 1 + 1/x+3
 FIND THE FOLLOWING FUNCTION AT x= -2

f(x) = 3x3 + 8x2 +5x – 7

-2 3 8 5 -7
-6 -4 -2
3 2 1 -9
REMAINDER = -9 so f(-2) = -9

x 3 −1
Divide x−1

1 1 0 0 -1
1 1 1
 1 1 1 0
3
x −1
Divide x−1
2
x + 1x + 1
3 2
x – 1 x + 0x + 0x - 1
3 2
-(x – 1x )
3 2
0x + 1x + 0x
2
-(1x - 1x)
2
0x + 1x - 1
-(1x - 1)
0x - 0
