Answer 1

STEP - BY - STEP EXPLANATION

What to do?

Use the synthetic division to solve the given polynomials.

Given:

Using the synthetic division, we have;

Clearly from the above, we can compete the synthetic division table.

ANSWER

a)

In the first 3 boxes, we have -2, 16, 8

In the last 4 boxes, the answer are 1, -8, -4, 5

b)

`(x^3-10x^2+12x+3)/(x-2)=x^2-8x-4+(5)/(x-2)`
