Question

Divide using synthetic division. Write the answer as a polynomial x^3+x^2-11x+4=0; (x+4)

Answer 1

In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.

Step 01:

Data:

x^3 + x^2 - 11x + 4=0

(x+4)​

Step 02:

synthetic division

x = - 4

-4 | 1 1 -11 4

| -4 12 -4

______________

1 -3 1 0

the remainder is 0

x² - 3x + 1

The answer is:

x² - 3x + 1
