Question

Kelly asks you for advice.

X
"I need to divide a3 + 2x2 – 8x – 17 by x – 3.
Which method, long division or synthetic division, would
you suggest? Why?"
Please reply using at least two complete sentences.

Answer 1

The synthetic division would be the best
Long division unlike the synthetic division can only be used when the is no variable I.e u know the real values of an expression eg 1,5,4
The synthetic division can be used even when u hv variables like urs above. In other words u can divide expressions of same variable and of the same or different degrees with synthetic division
