Answer: 3x^3+2x+5
Explanation:
I attached my written work but put simply take the value of x which in this case is -2 because x+2 also means x= -2. Then line up the coefficients next to -2 which should be in a box. So the coefficients 3, 6, 2, 9, and 10. Drop the first coefficient down which is 3 and multiply it by your x value. so the combo is multiply, add, drop. starting with 3 drop it down then multiply it by -2 to get -6. Then add -6 to the second coefficient which is 6 to get 0 so drop zero down. Then again multiply 0 by -2 to get 0 then add zero to 2 to get 2 then drop down 2. So continue till the end remmebr the only multiplication you are doing is against the x value which in this case is -2. at the end you should have 5 numbers left. Here we end with 3, 0, 2, 5, 0. So we want a zero as the last number which means we have no remainder. If the last number is not zero do not PANIC. just kidding but seriously though relax. Put the number over your expression x+2 so for example if the last number was 5 instead of zero DONT PANIC just finish your answer with 5/x+2. SO back to the 3, 0, 2, 5, 0. We add the corresponding x's to these numbers so
which also equals
