Q. If , use synthetic division to find .
- Set up synthetic division: Set up the synthetic division by writing down the coefficients of the polynomial and the value for which we are solving . Coefficients: Value:
- Begin division process: Begin the synthetic division process. Bring down the leading coefficient () to the bottom row.
- Multiply and write result: Multiply the value we brought down by and write the result under the next coefficient \-17.
- Add numbers in second column: Add the numbers in the second column: .Write this result under the line.
- Multiply and write result: Multiply the result we just wrote by and write the result under the next coefficient .
- Add numbers in third column: Add the numbers in the third column: . Write this result under the line. This is the remainder and also the value of .
