Q. If , use synthetic division to find .
- Write Coefficients and Value: To use synthetic division, we first write down the coefficients of : , , and . Then we write to the left since that's the value we're evaluating for.
- Bring Down First Coefficient: Bring down the first coefficient, , as is.
- Multiply and Write Result: Multiply by and write the result, , under the second coefficient, .
- Add Coefficient and Number: Add the second coefficient, , and the number below it, , to get . Write this below the line.
- Multiply and Write Result: Multiply by the new number, , and write the result, , under the third coefficient, .
- Add for Remainder: Add the third coefficient, , and the number below it, , to get . Write this below the line; this is the remainder and also the value of .
