ALGEBRA 2 SYNTHETIC DIVISION

PLSSS HELP MEE

Answer 1

3x² - x - 1 -
`(2)/(3x^3-4x^2-1)`

Explanation:

given the polynomial , divide by x - 1

using synthetic division with divisor x - 1 = 0 , then x = 1

the dividend consists of the coefficients of the polynomial.

note the x- term's coefficient is zero

1 | 3 - 4 0 - 1

↓ 3 - 1 - 1

---------------------

3 - 1 - 1 - 2 ← remainder [ 3 , - 1, - 1 are the coefficients of the quotient ]

quotient is of degree 1 less than the dividend

quotient is 3x² - x - 1

thus the result of the division is

3x² - x - 1 -
`(2)/(3x^3-4x^2-1)`
