Conclusion
The answer is
4. Multiply the first coefficient by a. Then write this product under the
second coefficient
5. Add the second coefficient with the product and write the sum as shown.
6. Continue this process of multiplying and adding until there is a sum for
the last column.
The numbers along the bottom row are the coefficients of the quotients with
the powers of x in descending order. The last coefficient is the remainder.
The first power is one less than the highest power of the polynomial that was
being divided.
The division answer is
Conclusion:
The pupil taught by the method of synthesis is just like a man led blind-fold
to the desired goal. Since analysis is a lengthy method, it needs the help of
synthesis for the removal of this defect. It will not be useful if it is not
followed by synthesis. Synthesis is the complement of analysis; and, in the
teaching of mathematics, the two should always go together. Analysis leads
to synthesis-analyze in order to synthesis, i.e., facts or things are separated in
order to find out how these can be knit together to form one whole, Analysis
forms the beginning and synthesis forms the follow up work. The two are
interdependent. Teacher should realize that he may offer help two the
analytic form of the solution and that synthetic work should be left to the
pupils.
